What do you recommend for preparation for the level 2 exam? Do you guys think that Schweser Premium materials are enough? Although more time consuming I used the textbooks (+ Bionic Turtle) for level 1. My perception is that level 2 is more conceptual than level 1 and as a result reading the textbooks may be a more effective tool to prepare. However, I will not be able to spend more than 200 hours on this level and may use BT and Schweser. Thank you in advance for your input.
This is what I had used: I read the FRM core materials. I did not have time to solve any problems nor look at mock. so i jus read and re-read the FRM core materials. So I think I am lucky. For Operational risk and CIFM the FRM materials are too bulky. Hence I tried to focus on the AIM for this huge readings. i.e. looking at the AIM and trying to grasp them by reading the core readings. but both these readings were straight forward. I got Q1 in both these. Market risk, credit risk and investment management risks are tricky and I had bit of tough time remembering. Also the questions asked during the exam are too tough. I literally had no clue. I got Q3 in Mkt risk, Q2 in Credit risk and Q3 in investment risk. I had appeared for both parts together. so I was not able to devote lot of time for either groups. so I must say I was lucky to have scrapped through.
Great. Thanks for the input and congratulations on finishing the FRM program.
