Does anyone else have issues? Normally I do not run into computer problems. When I attempt to open the TestBank it will stop responding and I will be forced to end the task.
32-bit (software) vs. 64-bit (Vista) might be the problem.
Since you are using Vista, in order to register the application, kindly go to your desktop & find the TestBank icon. Ā· Right-click the TestBank icon ā on the drop-down menu that appears, select the option: āRun as Administratorā. This will open TestBank. Ā· You will then see the registration window. Enter the registration information and then click the āRegisterā button at the bottom of the window. Ā· You only need to do this to register the application. After you have registered it, you can just double-click the icon to begin using TestBank. The response from Uppermark in case anyone else has this same issue.
I hate that stuff. āRun as Administratorā? Itās my own darn computer!
Iām kind of jealous right now. I think I will write level 1 CAIA.

Iām 2/3 done with the material. At this time I donāt foresee too much trouble passing in March. The material seems to be more cocktail party appropriate unlike a lot of the CFA material.
Thanks for the insight ditchdigger, I kind of like the risk and convertible arbitrage stuff. Is that discussed in detail? You are planning to write CFA Level 2 if you pass as well right? Thatās a big workloadā¦
There is plenty about arbitrage and risk management. I ordered the Uppermark package based on reading old various AF threads. I will be taking CFA L2 in June assuming I passed L1 (which Iām certain I did). Given a different scenario, I would not have attempted this. I begin working in taxes on 1/23 and finish on 4/15. Therefore I have plenty of free time now and after 4/15 for studying. This designation is not well known and expensive and it will not really help me get a job. I just like the material and feel self actualization obtaining the designation.
ditch, it could be more beneficial than you think. I think youāll probably have some appreciation for this dude, he combines merger arbitrage ideas with value investing. http://www.covestor.com/img/interview/Sean%20Hannon.pdf
It wont even work on a bloody mac, online access here I comeā¦
Wouldnāt the use of the CAIA compliment your knowledge from the CFA exams? and if there is plenty about arbitrage and risk management, wouldnāt that help with a future FRM designation? Iām just curious as to why some people would take the CAIA, or how they would use it.
