    Exam Feedback FRM Part 1 (May 2015) Exam Feedback

    I think nobody has a clue about the pass rate (because it is depending on the results from the participants). I guess that GARP will look that they get a Pass Rate about +-50% for Level 1. Hence the cutoff rate could be even between 40%-50% (if the exam results have been very bad). At least that...

    I thought I was appropriate prepared for the exam (even two weeks of vacation sacrifised) but obviously not. I think Ive got +-50% of the questions right (depending of the scores from the questions I guessed). It was surprising for me that the questions were mostly "complex/tricky". They really...

    Same for me. Sadly I could write down (out of mind) at least 40 slides with formulas, what a big waste of time :( Btw.: These 4 blank spaces for 100 MC-Questions were far too few.

    If you have a strong command over theory and concepts it is always "not tough". But too learn and understand concepts / formula (over 1200 sides) in deepness is obviously very hard and time-consuming (if you have a full-time job inclusive social interactivity). Obviously I understood the...

    Feedback on part 1 May 2015 exam

    :( did the same mistake like ashwinashu, there is always a tricky part... There was another nasty question where they asked to calculative the explained sum of squares with TSS and correlation. So you had to have two things on mind: the basic formula and the connection between R^2 and correlation.

    Feedback on part 1 May 2015 exam

    Hey, I think I was correct with c=s(0)*N(d1)-Ke^-rt N(d2), the tricky part: N(d2) wasn't explicitly named as N(d2) but described as the probability that the option won't be exercised. So I think you had to 100%-67% (as far I remember) for N(d2).

    Suprisingly (and badly for me) there was no question about ARIMA, AR, MA, WN, RW - only a short question about stationarity, distribution of Ljung/Box Test and Akaike/Black/MSE.

    Exam Day Tips

    Hi I have a short question which I haven't seen answered anywhere. Okay, you´re getting some pencils from GARP but what about blank papers to do some calculations or transformations. Are they going to be provided? Thanks for a briefly explanation. Regards, Alex
