THANK YOU DAVID AND BIONIC TURTLE TEAM!!!

Congrats @Pflik!

May 2014 Results have been released.

Oh man....I just went too. It is allowing me to select Level II only....I would like to think that this means I passed Level I. PASSED!!!!! (2,1,1,2) If you haven't received your email results, you can go to the GARP Website, and click on the Quicklinks in the lower right of the webpage...

I went to GARP today and clicked on the register button and it stated "...once results are released on July 23.." Anyone else see this?

Anyone know if we are allowed to share materials with one another? For instance, I do not have a copy of Wagner's Country Risk Model readings and I would be interested in a .pdf if someone is willing to share it (assuming this is not prohibited, naturally.) Brian

I too have a great deal of respect for actuaries....it must take real determination to work in such a boring field! Kidding... It is difficult to say which exams are more difficult...as I am sure many have said before me, the actuarial exams are specialized exams testing specific topics, so...

I began my career as an Actuarial Analyst at Towers Perrin (now Towers Watson) and now I work in Finance at a super-regional bank in North Carolina. I have passed a couple actuarial exams. Having passed the SOA exams, I really expected the FRM exam to be a cake walk ... I was wrong. By...

Hilarious @plulutes. If it helps ease the pain, I expect you to pass.....whereas, I don't feel the same for myself. We'll see..

Not sure I agree with this entirely....the trustee is engaged on behalf of the bond holders, not the issuer. This fact led me to NOT select the fiduciary option.

I agree with this and answered to a similar effect....but I don't remember the actual language....

I am having trouble posting to this thread.... I solved for Lambda = (1/2)^(1/23) = 0.970 since were given T = 23.

thought I posted this earlier....is this the question that stated lambda ^ T = 1/2 given T = 23? Wouldn't we simply solve for Lambda as follow? Lambda = (1/2)^(1/23) = 0.97031

I might be mistaken, but I thought that the proctor announced that there was a z table in the test booklet (or the problem stated it ... or something else.) For some reason, I was aware that it was there....

Perhaps I am wrong, but I swear there were a couple questions that were simply flawed. I remember one question that stated something like the following.... If considering the mean variance framework, skewness and kurtosis do not exist. I am paraphrasing.... This is a flawed statement; the 3rd...

I hear you @plulutes - I suppose since David is encouraging the discussion, it is not inappropriate.

As an aside, I would love to speak about the exam questions, but it is my understanding that it is a violation of the Code of Ethics....is it not?

It was pretty terrible....

I felt absolutely terrible after this exam. I am not sure what I was expecting....I would have liked to have left feeling confident but that was definitely not the case. I ran out of time and had to guess on at least 20 questions.....which is very frustrating because I did not anticipate time...

HA!!! This is hilarious! Thank you for everything...
