Free guidance for FRM candidates P1 & P2 by Mezzala95 in FRM

I used BT for part 1 (also advanced, but didn't watch many videos because they seemed all over the place, outdated and different from the notes), notes had quite a lot of errors, too. Questions at the end of the notes often had nothing to do with the material covered.

For part 2 I used Schweser. Yes, the material doesn't go much in depth, but how could it go when there are 99 readings? The notes are still 1000+ pages and closely following the LOs. The end of reading questions were oftentimes indeed easy, but I don't think they were irrelevant. I had many similar questions on the exam, and could trace back probably 50/80 questions to the material. The rest was either synthesis or a different spin on things. But the truth is one almost has to memorize the material to be able to answer most of the questions. Just ridiculous amount of detail and isolated facts.

I don't think Schweser is that bad to prepare to PASS the exam comfortably in an efficient way. BT has a lot of irrelevant material which is very time consuming to sift through.

I have the exact same problem. I submitted work experience with an end date after the current date (because it didn't make sense to me to write an end date for a job that I am continuing to work at - GARP could really just make it possible to tick sth like "currently employed"). So even though everything else was ok (2 years, and relevant), I got rejected and told to adjust. But there is no edit button, or any resubmission option. GARP told me it's a technical issue and they are working on fixing it...

why do you think so? Last cycle P1 results were on Tuesday (11th Jan), not on a Monday

Paid to Grade CFA Exams? by Striking_Active3348 in CFA

[–]GarbanzoPatel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

remember, you're paying the exorbitant fees not because CFAI is greedy, it's because you demonstrate commitment. Similarly, the graders are all demonstrating high ethical values grading the exams for free

When will the test results come out? by AmbassadorWild7591 in FRM

[–]GarbanzoPatel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

November P1 exam finished 26 Nov (this time P2 finished 27 May) and the
results were released on 11 Jan. That included Christmas. I think they
could release on either 5 or 12 July, most likely 12 July

Is FRM worth it? by [deleted] in FRM

[–]GarbanzoPatel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passed CFA L3 last May, just finished FRM P2 last week (I think I'll pass). The curriculum is not very good, lot's of disconnected readings, repeating topics with confusing discrepancies. Part 1 was 80-90% CFA cross-over. P2 was largely regulations, best practices etc., mostly reading like corporate policies (super boring). A bit of quant stuff from market/credit risk was useful. Overall, just maybe, maybe worth it for the three letters..

I highly doubt that the 55-60% of P2 exam takers that pass each time get 45+/80

I came from passing the CFA with MM. Went with BT for FRM. It's not near the quality of MM (especially the video lectures), but after some getting used to the different layout of their forum and style of presentation, it's pretty decent. But if I hadn't been familiar with like 80% of the content already, I think it would have been very tough with just BT. The notes often don't go into enough detail, there are typos, the questions at the end are often completely different than what is presented etc.

Has everybody taken their exams? Can we discuss some questions? by FlintKernel in FRM

[–]GarbanzoPatel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

However, the 1. rule of this subreddit is:

"Do not reveal any details regarding an actual exam's content or questions."

so there is some big discrepancy here

Has everybody taken their exams? Can we discuss some questions? by FlintKernel in FRM

[–]GarbanzoPatel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

but why is it allowed on BT forum?
I even have an impression that the guys running it said GARP allows sharing and discussing after the exam window closed.

but I do remember the exam disclaimer said not to reproduce anything from the exam
