What time did you submit at? You should have a CV submission confirmation email. Thanks, and Congrats!

Odd. I got my CV submission confirmation email from GARP at 10:45am EST. They told me that they review them in order of submission....

When did you send yours up? I sent mine up on the 28th before they messed things up on the website with the exam marks.

How long does it usually take to get back once work experience has been submitted? I submitted the day the results came out. Also, experience is 10 months as a retail auto loan underwriter and 19 months as a commercial banker. I also work with treasury including establishing derivatives...

any news on pass rates?

Just received an email saying click here to view your exam results...

Does anyone's say that hey didn't pass?

For sure. It was more a general question but a few examples are on page 4, 7, and 14 of chapter 36 of the BT study notes. I basically mean defining the parameters in the equations. So if you have sigma(t,i) and sigma(T,i) in an equation, an explanation of what sigma is (a good guess would be...

Why is it that most parameters in equations of the study notes are not explicitly defined? It can make it difficult to understand the equations.

When I click the link to download the pdf version of the notes, it just opens the same page I was on in a new tab. I was able to successfully download 3 readings, but then it stopepd working. Are the notes not out yet? Please advise. Thanks.

Is it necessary to use GARP books if using the BT study notes? Sorry for all the questions, but you have been a great help. Thanks, Nicole.

How many pages is BT's notes for FRM Part 2? And will the BT notes for FRM Part 2 differ between Nov 2015 and May 2016? Thanks, Don

Nicole, thank you for you're reply. I will be looking into Bionic Turtle as an alternative this time around as I did not feel adequately prepared for Part 1 using Schweser. Are you able to give me any estimate on the time candidates generally report studying for Part 2? Thank you.

Does Bionic Turtle have physical copies of the study material? Would you consider Part 2 to be more or less difficult than Part 1? Would you say more or less time is needed to study for Part 2 than Part 1? I am considering writing Part 2 in Nov 2015 but concerned I may have waited too long. It...

That is very helpful! Thank you for the explanation! p.s. Your youtube videos are quite helpful as well (in general).

I see, I was thinking that it assigned more weight and probability to the more extreme losses (which is incorrect because that is already factored into the probability density of the returns). The above now makes sense thanks to your help. Thank you!

Hi David, thanks for the reply, but unfortunately I do not quite follow the above.

Hi, I am confused about expected shortfall. Does it apply equal weightings to all losses past a certain quantile? In the context of a normal distribution, will this bias the expected value towards the lower end of the tail? Thank you for any help!
