    How about a "Repeat" Tag for repeatedly asked questions. Maybe these would be ones that everyone is troubled with. Or that we can find the answer to this by searching!

    CFA CFAs, share some tips plz.

    Good inputs. Thanks. I will also be appearing for CFA L1 and have a few questions. - Between Schweser and Elan, which one would be better - considering videos, notes, practice questions and exams. - Which topics should I "must" do from the CFAI curriculum? People have advised me about Ethics...

    Is he facing problem in understanding / interpreting correctly the english language (intent) of the questions? Just trying to look at a different possibility... I have seen individuals struggle to get a good score primarily because of lack of comprehension / expression.

    Anybody knows how long it takes for GARP to verify the work experience

    http://www.garp.org/frm/certified-frm-resources/receiving-your-certificate.aspx You can start using the FRM after your name (as well as Certified FRM tag) soon as you receive the mail from GARP. No need to wait for the physical cert.

    Anybody knows how long it takes for GARP to verify the work experience

    In my case, it took GARP 5 working days to respond via email. The certificate posting takes longer and they work according to a schedule.

    May 2012 Exam Results

    Wiki is no authority! People like us write it. Does it work this way? Or... Let us say that 100 appear for P1 and 100 for P2. 60 pass P1 and 50 pass P2 So total 110 out of 200 - which is 55% These are additive not independent - maybe independent events for a single individual but additive...

    May 2012 Exam Results

    Jeff - appreciate that you had the courage to post here that you did not pass and also your quartiles. You are probably one of the few. To your benefit, I believe, you were just one quartile short of passing (based on general responses on this and other sites). Try to look at it in a manner of...

    Agree Someone I know, on another site, quoted that he passed P2 with 2-2-3-4-4 !! Reiteration - GARP should be concerned about quality. Not only about increasing the base of certificate holders.

    passed L1 and L2. Scores in L2 not very impressive. does it matter?

    There are more programs like this http://www.garp.org/risk-education/academic-partnerships.aspx And the value of these programs is increasing. The benefits are immense and marketability increases with such associations. Simple question - Why would an employer consider a plain FRM or CFA if he...

    May 2012 Exam Results

    I understand where you are coming from. I have also gone through grilling 4.5 hrs exams where there are essentially 3-4 cracking cases plus a few candies (small caselets). Though it was very encouraging that we passed with a pass rate of 12% GARP is probably trying to expand the FRM...

    May 2012 Exam Results

    Someone biased? (Not undermining your respect for this person) I say this because I have seen many youngsters (fresh engineers / MBAs) these days clearing the FRM easily by "mugging" - not at all understanding Risk Management, but just forcing info into the brain and practicing a lot of...

    25% - Does the GARP site not mention figures of 50-60% http://www.garp.org/frm/frm-program/about-the-frm-program.aspx Am I missing something?

    passed L1 and L2. Scores in L2 not very impressive. does it matter?

    Agree. Charters and Certifications are different from a Degree where there would be a GPA or other such criteria (eg: papers published and referenced for a PhD) Maybe for freshers, it does matter a bit. Beyond that, I have never known any employer attaching any meaning to the quartiles or...
