FRM® Practice Questions

Our team writes fresh, unique practice questions every week. All registered users can view the practice questions; however, only paid members can view the answers and explanations.

Note: Paid members do not need to collect practice questions from the forum! After a chapter (or related chapters) is complete, the PQs are organized into a single PDF file and uploaded to the Study Planner and Interactive PQ Platform.

Hello Hopefully I am posting at the right thread. I just wanted to ask when will will the Part I new LOSes be added? There are not that many, probably less than 10 in number spread across 3 books. Sometimes it gets too confusing in the forum as to where things get added. So I asked here.
gsarm1987 wrote on Kabelo Mosarwe's profile.
practice daily. thats how you pass part 1. good luck
Where can I find the Study Planner?
Think exam went OK! Did my best to study all the topics, loved the many exercises offered by BT!
We'll see what happens ;) best case I'm an FRM in November, worst case I get to study everything again and become even better at my job :D
