I received my cert yesterday - I'm in the UK.

An excellent mischaracterisation of what I said. Well I wish you will on your mission to read ever more books as, using your logic, even reading every book referenced on the FRM curriculum is "minimalist." What about all the material which wasn't included? I trust you'll be buying and reading...

I find this a bit offensive to be honest. The original question was: While more books and more studying does lead to a "better understanding of the curriculum" this is trivially so - you are hardly going to decrease your understanding by reading more - and not helpful to answer the sense of...

Certified, 13 Jan 17 at 20.30, experience submitted 03 Jan 17 at 9.30 (all times GMT).

I put my manager's name.

Ha, I came out of the exam feeling pretty good then read this thread, got depressed, and started worrying about failing only to get straight 1s as well. Pretty much the same as for level 1, in fact. Never had exams that were so hard to estimate my results...

Same here!

Passed. Phew.
