I agree. I used the rule of 90%. As long as you know and really understand 90% of the material, you should be fine. Give that extra 10% a try, but don't kill yourself if it's really hard to understand.

I was pretty good on bonds due to my finance background. Should you need help on any bond problems, post it here and I'll try to help.

thanks everyone for helping,
i am going through the whole chapter again, after i tried couple of MCQ's (not to mention, getting 50% score on all..haha). it helps to go over it again. chapter 5 was quite tough comparing the last 4. i dont know what in there for me, looks like its getting harder, will see.
i had a doubt in bonds issued between dates.
e.g shown in the book says, on april, krisit corp issues 10% bonds dates jan 1 year 1, face amount1,000,000, interest is due semi-annual. bonds were issued for 926,395, + acc interest (jan-march_
SP-926395
+int-(1000,000*10%*3/12) 25000=951,395
i dont get this, the semi-annual generally gives you half the interest rate, i thought it would be 5%?? why is it 10%...i am totally confused.

so if I were an investor, would I prefer to invest in a bond premium or bond discount?

You could successfully invest in bonds that have either one, it depends on the situation.
