Organising Study Plan

FRM
#1

Hi All,

I plan to register for FRM Level 1 exam for Nov 2012. Recently I bought BT prep materials. I also have Schweser’s study notes. Here I am, trying to figure out how can I best combine both my resources to get the most out of my preparation. I have the following alternatives,

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.

Please guide me through this. I feel like plan A would suit me best keeping 4 months of preparation in mind. If anyone has a better suggestion, please reply so I can consider it.

Thanks a lot.

I first started with BT notes + BT PQs only. Because the BT notes are too concise, I now use both BT and Schweser. Each set of notes complement each other IMO. Schweser gives more explanation while BT gives more examples.

What I do for each AIM statement :

  1. Read Schweser notes

  2. Read BT notes

  3. Do Schweser Concept Checkers (those questions are way too easy!)

  4. Do BT PQs

It’s time consuming but I understand everything (mostly because I do two readings for each AIM statement), so I will probably need less study near the exam date.
