Are "Actuarial Mathematics" and "Models for Quantifying Risk" really necessary???

[Burhan]

Hi,

I plan to give MLC in November. I initially planned to study from ASM only (the new 11th edition with the syllabus changes).

But a friend of mine told me that I must study from "Actuarial Mathematics" (the new one with the changes) and/or from "Models for Quantifying Risk".

I am confused. Should I study from (i). ASM only or (ii). ASM with either AM or MQR or (iii). Just AM and MQR???

Please reply.

Thanks.

I am going to write it in May and use ASM only.

From what I have heard of, any of those 3 those options is fine.

Better to ask your friend why those textbooks are necessary.
