ST6 Exams in 2010: textbook update

The 2010 ST6 Core Reading and exams will be based on the 7th edition of Hull (2008) rather than the 6th edition.

Students sitting ST6 in September 2009 should continue to refer to the 6th edition, as this is the edition on which 2009 Core Reading is based. [If you already have a copy of the 7th edition for the 2009 exam then please refer to the document "ST6 - Notes for students who are using 7th edition (2008) of Options, futures and other derivatives by Hull" on the website.]
