    anyone taking FRM in San Francisco in May

    I took it in Nov 2012 in San Francisco. The parking is limited, so if you are going to drive, make sure you get there at least an hour early. I had to spend about 20 minutes searching for a spot when I took the exam. I recommend public transit if it is at all convenient for you.

    November 17, 2012 Exam Results released - January 2, 2013

    David and Suzanne, I can't thank you enough. I passed both Level 1 and Level 2 and I used only BT to study for the exam. I did not even open the GARP text materials, as I felt your product was so much easier to comprehend and digest, both the videos and the sample test questions. You both do a...

    WTF? Proctor asks me to lend my spare calculator to another candidate...

    From all of these stories, it seems that GARP does not have a good grasp on how to train the exam proctors. I have never had any issues during a CFA exam (unfortunately, I've taken the CFA exams more times than I would have liked) and I have always found the proctors at the CFA exams to be very...

    WTF? Proctor asks me to lend my spare calculator to another candidate...

    Hi all, Just to update you on this issue, I cut and pasted my original post above and sent it to GARP. I just received this response: "Dear Vj, Thank you so much or your feedback. We will certainly be reaching out to the proctors as they should not have done that. Again your comments, and...

    Suzanne, Thank you for contacting GARP and alerting them to this situation. Please feel free to forward my contact details along to them (I assume you have access to them through my BT account -- if you don't please message me). I'd be happy to provide them with more details. I will let...

    WTF? Proctor asks me to lend my spare calculator to another candidate...

    Thanks you all for your comments on this issue. I especially thank you David for contacting GARP, and forwarding this issue to them. I also want to thank David and Suzanne for the excellent Bionic Turtle program in general. I prepared for FRM L1 and L2 exclusively with Bionic Turtle and loved...

    WTF? Proctor asks me to lend my spare calculator to another candidate...

    Hi all, Thanks for the comments. Just to be clear, if I had a third calculator, I would've happily lent it out in this situation. If I do need to retake the exam (hopefully I don't), I will happily spend another $58 to purchase a third calculator to prevent this type of situation (which I had...

    WTF? Proctor asks me to lend my spare calculator to another candidate...

    As I checked into the L1 exam in San Francisco, the proctor inspected my 2 HP-12C calculators (as expected) and I went and sat down in my assigned seat. About 5 minutes later (before the test started), the proctor came back to me and told me that another candidate did not bring an approved...

    No watch allowed during the exam?

    In San Francisco, they explicitly DID allow you to bring a watch, and take it off your wrist. Several people in my exam testing room did so.
