    That’s some random GARP guy in front of your submission ticket: (Yes, it’s MC Hammer’s time again!)

    Does anyone else have any other financial certification? How does the FRM compare, difficulty wise?

    A colleague of mine is currently in the middle of passing PRM. While the concepts intersect with FRM, the certification approaches are quite different. Not taking into consideration 2 parts in FRM vs 4 parts in PRM, the latter requires way more calculations, AFAICR: matrices, differential and...

    Considering the continuousness of the approval process throughout the recent years, it is reasonable to assume the similarity of the annual scale. I mean, there's no much difference if there're 2,800 certifieds or, say, 3,200. GARP will fall behind our expectations on the approval timings anyway :)

    You'll never know how many there are of us, unless the certifieds lists are updated with the 2020 data, e.g.: https://www.garp.org/#!/frm/our-certified-frms/q1

    FRM Nov 19 Result

    Would like to bring in my 2 cents. I've cleared the 1st part with one try, but the 2nd part (IMO, way harder one) took me 3 attempts. For the first one, I haven't been preparing at all, and finished with the lowest quartiles. For the second attempt I used to prepare with another provider...

    For the sake to comprehend the scope GARP is dealing with, I've counted the number of newly certifieds for one of the recent quarters, and got the number of around 2,800 persons per quarter! If there's only one GARP employee who dedicates 8 hours a day to the confirmation job only, and he...

    A good colleague of mine has also passed the 2nd part on the fall '19, and also awaiting the approval so far. But he isn't really bothered with GARP taking so long... As he literally has no time for complaining, while being in the middle of preparing for CFA L3. Could be taken as an advice for...

    Oh dude, no need to be that cruel. Why do you make me think? I’ve left all my brains in the exam room on Nov, 16th. Now longing for one thing only: the FRM designation...
