I thought the practice exams were slightly to moderately easier than the most recent exam. A lot of it may have just been bias in repeated questions from year to year. I would say that the format and way they word the questions are pretty similar, so it is worth doing the practice exams from...

Salary negotiations are always subject to skill, demand, company performance, and personal performance. FRM is just another tool that may help you get a salary increase but never a guarantee. I would say your current company would bump your salary (maybe 10%) slightly more than they normally...

I can't seem to find a way to download the exam results after signing up for Part 2 on the GARP website. It seems like the area where you used to be able to download exam results and performance was replaced with Part II options like Defer Exam, etc...

Sectional spread won't matter, as they grade it by the overall number of questions correct. It probably would have served to your advantage to answer those last 14 questions even if they were just pure random guesses (In fact, I put C on ~20 questions that I did not know the answer to or didn't...

Passed! Thanks BT! Now onto part 2. Fwiw, I was seeing the changed message earlier that people were mentioning and also only saw part 2 books for registration. Was scared it was just a red herring but glad to know it wasn't. :)

There' s a typo in Tuckman Ch.20 Study Notes under the monthly interest payment calculation example. It should say $100,000 x 0.04/12 not 0.014/12.

I think what they're trying to say is that there's a lot of variability not only with weighted percentage of each section, but also within the range of tthe Quartiles. For example: Student 1: Q2, Q2, Q3, Q3 Student 2: Q2, Q2, Q3, Q3 Perhaps Student 1 passes and Student 2 fails even though...

I still haven't been added to the group. Is there someone who is doing the adding?

Not necessarily an error, but some feedback -- McDonald, Ch.6 Instructional Video there's a rather noticeable background noise in the video that sounds like a sprinkler system that makes it difficult to watch/listen to the video. Spot checking other videos (like the Hull ones), this noise isn't...

The GARCH example in the same video, I seem to get a different answer than 1.43%... I get 0.0205% = .00798^2 + .00014082

Thanks this makes sense.

I noticed in the Ch. 23 Hull video, it shows the EWMA formula in both extended form and recursive form. On the recursive formula, sigma(n)^2 = lambda * sigma(n-1)^2 + (1 - lambda)*u(n-1)^2; however, the extended formula shows that the formula consists of (1-lambda)*lambda0*u(n-1)^2 +...

Actually, I found my answer here: https://forum.bionicturtle.com/threads/p1-t2-222-homoskedasticity-only-f-statistic.5480/ I think it would definitely be helpful to include the reversal equation with R^2 in the Study Notes!

Hi, As I was studying I noticed in the Stock & Watson Study Notes that you mentioned F-stat formula for homoskedastic to be ((SSRres - SSRunres) / q) / (SSRunres / n - kunres - 1) .. however in one of the problems on the Study Guide it mentions that we can use R^2 in place of SSR, but on the...

Ah that totally makes sense! Thanks Brian :)

In the study notes it mentions var(X-Y) = var(X) + var(Y). Is this a typo? Or is the RHS really suppose to be addition not subtraction. Thanks!

Got it thanks. Makes it a lot more clear!

Why is zero covariance imply zero correlation but not vice versa? If we go by the formula covariance(p,M) = correlation(p,M) * sigma(p) / sigma(M), wouldn't zero correlation mean zero covariance as well?

I notice after going through some questions (i.e. Part 1 Interactive Quiz), that there may be old questions that show up every once in a while that relate to older AIMs. Should we take the time to study/learn these older AIMs if they aren't a major concept? Some examples of these older AIMs may...
