    Exam Feedback November 2016 Part 2 Exam Feedback

    I do disprove this view! Someone who brings such a minimalistic view to the table (simply aiming to pass the exam and not seeing the bigger picture; put differently, relying simply on FRM books or BT), will not make it in the long run. The original books are always way better than other any...

    P1.T1.701. Amplifying mechanism and recurring themes in the global financial crisis (Brunnermeier)

    Citing @David Harper CFA FRM 'GARP doesn't originate a question as a first step by going to the reading first; the first step is a real-world practitioner orientation and the questions are then vetted against the readings.' To hammer home the message, listen to B. May from 1:28 onwards (can't...

    FRM Handbook - Tips and tricks

    Hi All, some of you may have encountered my forum posts recently and all my detailed explanations. I started working/writing on some kind of 'FRM manual' (or whatever I will call it in the end - it could even become a book in the long run) in the last few months elaborating on derivations...

    Hi All, has someone already tried to tackle the ERP exam? Irrespective of the exam itself, what do you think about the value-added of this program? Would be great to have your feedback on this. Many thanks!

    Great @adambschrier! I think for qualitative readings when looking for brief summaries Schwester notes are quite good as well. Even if they come with some mistakes occassionally as I have already pointed out to James Bullard (Rutgers University) who is an instructor at Schweser. But for all the...

    the question is: do they call every single manager and ask for the details or is it just a formality? Judging from some comments of colleagues here I guess they don't get in touch with the manager. Can anyone please elaborate? My question: does consultancy work (over periods of 3months) count...

    @LizKO come on, how stupid is this? If it says 'passed', it is set in stone. Why the hell should they change results randomly? How often do I need to repeat this: quartile results will come through during the day. Don't panic! It's not even the 3rd of Jan in the US yet (in many regions). Be...

    not yet, but don't freak out here. it's close to midnight in the US and the mail will come through during the day. All will be good. I need to digest it myself as well, because it was a game on very thin ice leaving out some chapters of the readings.

    YES YES INDEED! It's game over, man! I did it and this without reading half of the operational risk readings and without reading 'current issues' at all. Anyway, David you are the 'man tonight' - this is for sure! I am comparing the win of the US open by Stan Wawrinka over Djokovic last year...

    sorry guys, I am a Part II candidate and my status changed from saying 'yo have to pass part II until 2020' and now it is ' Your enrollment will expire on November 2021' and if I try to register for Part II it says 'there are no exams to register for'. Strange!
