Hi all - just a quick general question. I just received the textbooks for part I and wanted to which one was the best to start with?
Hi, if you want to prepare for the exam in May 2015 start with Book 3 and 4, because it is 60% of the exam weight. I do not know what your knowledge level is about Quant. Analysis and Risk mgt. Otherwise skim first Book 1 and 2. Download also the FRM Program Manual. You can find there an overview of the learning objectives. Regards, Bart
I generally start at the beginning and go in order. Seems that if there was ever a best way to read through the material, GARP will have shown this by the order of the books. At the very least, I’d say do the Quant book before the Financial Markets and Products book and before the Valuation and Risk book.
Thanks all. Appreciate the input.
i hope to god you’re studying for the Nov exam
For your own sake, you should hope to god OP is studying for May
HA…good point
Hi! I am preparing for FRM. There are some concepts that really confuse me. I need help with them. I am trying to find a study partner who would complement me and me him. I have registered on www.studypal.co for the same. Please find me with name “Aaditya Malpani”, if you are interested.
Hi, my plan for passing the FRM 1 exam was to do read Garp books and use Schwesser for revision. In the Risk Management book from GARP I skipped some topics and read Schewesser’s notes, because GARP can hold to many info. But I did it topic by topic. I left about 20 days for revision and did practice exams.
Aditya, are you still looking for a study partner? I am interested since I am also preparing for November. We can form a whatsap group to study for exam. Let me know if you are interested.
Please include me if you all are forming group on whatsapp.
