I relied on for CFA but many people here say it might not be the best prep material for FRM.Thanks in advance for your input! CFA Charterholder here, giving FRM L1 in 2 weeks.

The reason why I’m considering FRM is because the program might be more applicable to my role than CFA.For those that have taken both CFA and FRM, would you say that pursuing the FRM designation is worth the time and effort? I know that CFA is geared more towards asset management while FRM is geared more towards risk management but is having both redundant? Would having FRM give you the edge in banking?How would you compare the exam difficulty? Would you say the preparation time required is similar?And finally, which third party prep material would you recommend? Frm Part 1 Schweser Pdf I’m not a CFA Charterholder yet and I’m still accumulating the experience required and this would take around 2-3 more years. I’m currently working as a credit analyst in corporate banking. Hey guys, I’m aware that what I’ll be asking might not be the appropriate for this thread but since it’s been bumped to the top, I’ll ask anyway. I passed 元 CFA this year and I’m thinking of taking the FRM Part 1 Exam in May 2018. I am assuming you have Shweser question bank as well and solving the same. In fact, in May 2017 there were 2 questions on this topic so better master it now. Bayesian analysis is very important concept as it will be useful in valuating options in Book 4 and a sure shot GARP favorite in the exam. But i would say concept checkers of are not even of 10% difficulty of what you will face in the exam.īetter try to solve BT questions if you can get hand on the material from anywhere.
Is this a good omen? Will Book 3 and Book 4 pose any major challenges, or will it be more of the same given that I can manage and cope with stuff so far? Thats great going. Got kinda lost there.Anyways, I feel pretty OK thus far.
The one topic I did not immediately grasp was the Bayesian Analysis topic. I do the end of the topic questions without looking at the material again. My mean must be somewhere around 3.8-4.2I don’t know. I actually started off with Book 2, but read Book 1 concurrently, especially during lunch as it’s reading-intensive with some note-taking.Now that I’m done with both of these, I generally get 3-5 of my answers correct in the end of the chapter questions. But I’d say if you are willing to spend 300+ hours you should be on the safe side. But this could be completely different for you. So, it’s completely different to the CFA where you have tons of questions provided by the CFA institute.I can’t say so much about the time you have to spend for the preparation as this depends on how much experience and knowledge you have.įor example all the derivatives and fixed income stuff was quite easy for me due to my experience. There are no further practice questions provided by GARP.

Once I get that settled, I can prepare for the paper with a clearer frame of mind.Thanks! Plus GARP official notes is exactly what I used and I passed part I in May 2017.For practice I used ’s QBank (which is part of all the study packages offered by ), ’s two practice exams and ’s end of chapter question. There is a huge ocean ahead of me, I just need to know where to focus. I am prepared to put in 300+ hours (roughly two hours a day from July 1 till Nov 18, possibly with more hours on weekends).Would really, really appreciate some pointers. Is it OK to do recent past year practice/mock questions (from 2015 + 2016)?Generally, I just need some idea on the scope of what I should be focusing on to comfortably ace the paper. I have NOT as yet got my study materialsI have a deadline set for myself to get something by July 1 (the date I want to start my preparation).The three most common I see are: GARP official notes, notes, and Bionic Turtle notes.Would it honestly be enough, if say I could get the notes as my primary source, and refer to the GARP official notes as my secondary source? I also have some books on derivatives/options and statistics from my actuarial science degree in university that I could use (though they’re not really part of the recommended reading material).How important is it to buy the practice questions/mock exams as well? Is it enough to do the questions/examples presented within the notes? Hi guys, I’ve signed up for FRM Part 1 in Nov 2017.
