    Bonus points to the people who clocked the Quartiles on the website are different to the Quartiles in the PDF. ?? Confusing as always.

    Don't think they ready yet. It just launches and then shows nothing. Happy and going to sleep. Sure the GARP website must be creaking with all the people checking to see if they passed.

    Pass. :-) No scores yet. Congrats to all who have. Commiserations to those who did not. Keep going. Had mentally prepared myself for doing Part 1 again. Really thought the exam had gone badly. Thanks BT. Would have been toast without the forum and the practice questions.

    Yes. But the question did not state whether you were long or short. I just gave up and assumed we were long the delta and the combined delta was 1.2 we need to sell more of the underlying. Sell 3200. Also to hedge gamma you would need to buy or sell options and then delta hedge. None of the...

    OMG it is you. :-) Sorry. Page 47 of the QA Notes 1 - Reading 13 - Miller. If it any consolation it threw me and I went off to answer other questions and then came back to it later when I remembered how to do it. Can you imagine not being with BT though. We really would be cooked! :-)

    GARP.FRM.PQ.P1 What percentage of the distribution is not between A and B (garp16-p1-66)

    Thanks David. I get it. :-) What threw me is they normally give snippets of the look up. I assume they will give us a look up for the exam if required.

    GARP.FRM.PQ.P1 What percentage of the distribution is not between A and B (garp16-p1-66)

    Hi All, Pretty sure the the answer is pretty obvious (Just not to me currently) Where do the probability percentage's come from in this question? I get the standard deviation's from the mean but not sure how the .0228 and .0668 were come by? 66. Assume that a random variable follows a normal...
