| danlan2 | Do not understand the two adjustments. |
| Rotigga | Note the adjustment for step #2 is 90/360, not 90/365. |
| ptyson | the last part of the notes in this section explains it best. |
| Nando1 | Don't worry about it. We're not asked to calculate the model for the exam. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
