    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    Would this apply to those whose exam is already deferred to Jan? Current projections show COVID trends will be way worse in early 2021 than now so highly unlikely it will still be able to take place, or at least make candidates feel secure in taking exam by then

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    I just called Exhibition place and they said GARP will need to comply with the 50 persons per building rule, otherwise the event will not be able to proceed. GARP never replied any of my three emails so I don't know how they will respond, if anything at all.

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    Anyone scheduled for the Toronto October exam seeing their exam place somewhere other than Exhibition place? I think all FRM and ERP Toronto candidates are now scheduled to take the exam on October 24th at Exhibition place. This will very likely be incompliant with latest restrictions in...

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    A total fiasco for the ultimate institute for risk management! This time if any candidates get covid from writing the exam they will suffer a deadly blow. They should have offered CBT option a long time ago!

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    im not talking about HK or mainland China where Covid is largely contained. Im talking about USA, Canada, and many countries in Europe where the daily increase of new cases are still very high. GARP seems to not care at all about candidates' health and only pay attention to compliance with local...

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    New restrictions put in place for Toronto, Peel and Ottawa just yesterday: Basically if ERP and FRM candidates and proctors total more than 50 then it will not be allowed to proceed...

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    at this time, even people who are well prepared but reasonably concerned about risking their health would not go write the October exam. The only people who will go would be the ones who are desperate to finish off the exam and don't care about the risks. If GARP still fails 50% of this group...

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    Toronto is probably even worse than Montreal in terms of daily new cases trend. I will try to call the Exhibition place to see that they are planning to do. On their website, all indoor events in October are postponed or cancelled due to COVID.

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    Ontario daily new cases will likely double by mid October, even if the test takes place at Exhibition place on 24th I would be hesitant to go write it. I do want to finish the exam soon though, but also don't want to risk my health. Honestly GARP should have offered candidates the option to...

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    Just tried, am able to see it. Probably because i already downloaded it early yesterday morning when they haven't had a chance to make any changes. Given the current situation i highly doubt the October exams will proceed.

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    same here for Toronto. But i think their admission ticket was just pre-stored there as a program to be accessed starting today. They still have a good chance to defer the exam and they should IMO

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    it is hard to go write an indoor exam for a whole afternoon with many other strangers sharing the same ventilation. Australia and Bahrain have much less severe Covid situation to handle than USA or Canada or Europe. Cannot believe GARP will proceed risking the health of candidates and proctors...

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    High chance all October exams worldwide will be postponed. Being in Toronto I have emailed GARP yesterday about our concerns of COVID situation
