    How many certified FRM's globally? In the USA?

    Oops! Now you know I haven't cleared Level 2 yet:D However, that's informative and nice to learn that. But I wonder why people will opt out ? Due to privacy :eek:? Even CFA has the same option to search CFAs out across the globe.

    How many certified FRM's globally? In the USA?

    I had like to think so, but do you think there is any way to opt out ? GARP states that only after one receives the charter, one can claim to be an FRM and merely passing Level 2 isn't enough. Now there might be folks who clear FRM Level2 but don't score the charter which needs additional...

    I think quartiles are just indicate range of scores of individuals but the pass/fail decision must be based on a definite cut off or plethora of other sub-cutoffs. Now, even if 2 people have same quartiles, they may have different totals marks which might have been crucial in determining the...

    1-.375=62.5% P = 1- (15 - 0) / (40 - 0) = 0.625 i.e. assuming it's decreasing from 40 to 16. Please let me know your thoughts.

    Absolutely, I even remember the question. The ask was 'volatility' => sqrt( variance of today) but the answer was nowhere. I wasted some time on this before being sure that I am not goofing up somewhere. However, it's best to wait check the feedback of the community as exam pressure can make one...
