Study help

I have an exam coming up for financial maths and it is to do with portfolio theory,bonds,dcf, itos calculus, options and black scholes. I am really really struggling with this and I think in the current state I will not get above 60%. I feel like I know the stuff but can not apply it. I have 4 days till the exam.

I was wondering, do any of you have any good resources that you would recommend using to learn the stuff?
Any tips?

4 days? Holy shit, I've never started studying for anything that far out.

Just show up at the library with a bottle of Jack, coffee, and adderall at 6pm the night before the exam, find a table with people from your class, and don't leave til exam time.

Godspeed.

...Maybe you should've taken some challenging classes then.

400-level Finance classes are so tough bro. They tell you exactly what's gonna be on the tests and give you the fucking books that tell you how to do that shit. You don't even have to find the books on your own!

alternative answer: Why? You're just buying a fucking degree. Easy = efficient. Learn useful shit on your own time. It's way more fun when you're not being graded and timed.
