I’ve decided to memorize derivatives. Please help me God lol

I like derivatives but the amount of time it takes to solve some of them - the swaps/fras - it just takes SO long

50% on MM mocks is not bad. Back when I was studying for L3, my MM mock scores were in the late 40s but I still passed…

How wa sit for level 2? I just took the third mm mock and got a 55 and 48 = 51% avg. scared but I still have about four weeks so I’m reviewing answers and practicing. I’m not good at studying so not sure if this is the right approach. Advice appreciated.
