The questions are not easy and require a good knowledge of financial terms, concepts, relationship of financial concepts.

Hi Ukrainian_American,

Welcome to the board.

Thank you for your excellent advice concerning the Principles of Finance exam. You hit the nail right on the head.

Principles of Finance is one of the hardest exams I have taken so far. Marketing and Management are definitely not even in the same league.

On a personal note: My father-in-law's family are Ukrainian too. His father immigrated here from either Kiev or Lvov (not sure which). A few years ago, my wife spent a month in the Ukraine visiting her distant relatives. Just a bit of useless personal trivia that nobody really needs to know, but I'm saying it anyway.
