Hi,
Just wondering if any of you guys could give me an idea of the level of difficulty of the exams, and what kind of hours are required vs CFA.
Is there a lot of focus on statistics? I hated this topic in the CFA curriculum…
Thanks

Hi All,
I have sat the cfa level 1 exam and now I am doing the FRM level 1. I wanted to know if the FRM exam format similar to CFA? Do you get given an answer sheet? or is it computer based?
Finally are the candidates allocated a seat or can you choose where you can sit? In the CFA exam plenty were sitting in pairs but I was lucky enough to have the whole desk to myself :)
Thank you for your input

I need some help with VaR for my work. I understand the concept of VaR, but what do portfolio managers, risk managers, and traders do when they experience a VaR “break”. Do they make adjustments to the portfolio or how do they handle these scenarios?

I was initially planning on studying for FRM Part 1. I am also a CFA Level 2 Candidate (recently gave my exams). But there are many things going on for me right now, so I was thinking maybe I could do a financial modeling course for the first few months. Once, I am done with it, I would start studying for the next CFA level provided I passed :) . However, the problem is I already have schweser notes and BT material for FRM part 1 2012. So I am kind of confused if they would be relevant for the FRM exam in 2013. Can anyone provide some inputs? Continue reading

A. Watch BT Videos and use their spreadsheets, practice questions. Combine it with learning from Schweser notes.
B. Use all BT resources and use schweser for practice questions, exams. Continue reading
