By the Grace of Allah Almighty, I have passed part 1 with Quartiles of 2,3,1,1. I was confident on about 50 questions only. I guessed on about 20-30 questions, I think. I have only passed because of my parents' prayers. I was in hospital at 3:15 am local time with my mom who was admitted. She is...

Both parts? Wow. Don't know what to expect. Some posts on the forum give me some sliver of hope. I would like to start studying for part 2, but I am not confident about my result. Feel stuck. Because I am confident on about 50.

How are your nerves holding up? :)

Hello, Suggestion: Wouldn't it be better if the may 2015 feedback threads were placed under "about FRM", like theay 2014 ones, rather than under "announcements"? I think more people would reply to them. The part 2 thread has like 2 replies. :)

So now as I posted above, I don't know where I stand. Should I still have hope?

As soon as the exam ended, I was so angry. Angry at Schweser for their Practice Exams, on which I was scoring 70+. Angry at GARP, for the so-called practice questions, which were supposed to be "representative of the actual exam", which they sadly weren't. I did not use BT. In retrospect, I...

I am confident on 48. Educated guesses around 12 (narrowed choices down to 2), blind guesses about 20.Rest 20 questions, I didnt get time to check. Maybe they were blind, maybe educated guesses. Don't know.

You're right. If you don't mind. Are you on whatsapp, tango etc? It would be easier and faster to communicate there. You seem like a person who is as, if not more concerned about the result than me :)

Hmm I see your point. Do you think you might have selected some "trap" questions?

Hi. I appeared for part 1 recently too. I didn't do good on the exam. And I'm worried about the result. I wanted to ask how many questions are you very confident that you got right? How many were educated guesses? How many blind guesses? Thanks.

hi. how many questions are you confident you got right? how many were educated guesses?

Hi. How many questions are you confident on? How many were educated guesses? I am confident on about 50 and educated guesses were about 12-15. Any hope for me yet? Thanks.

I am confident on about 50, calculated guess on 14-15, after that things got really bad for me. Can I still hope to pass?

Random Thoughts:- 1. The exam was much tougher than I ever ever expected. I did not use BT. I used Schweser Books, Qbank, Practice Exams, some help from GARP Pearson books, Questions from FRM Handbook and GARP 2014/2015 practice questions . My average score was in the 70+ range throughout...

David thank you very much for your reply. I joined your forum 3 days you back and I've already realized that you guys are a very friendly and helpful lot. Your reply is very encouraging. But would it be asking to much if you can check with your GARP contact about my particular issue (more...

@David Harper CFA FRM CIPM Hi David, I worked in an actuarial/pensions consultancy for about 2 years 10 months. My job title was "Actuarial Manager". Due to some reasons I left the job in April 2014 and am taking a "gap year". I hope to appear for FRM part 1 in November 2014 and FRM part 2 in...
