2011 May FRM level1 exam and BT preparation materials

[David Harper CFA FRM]

Hi Amit,

By "source readings" I meant the readings assigned by GARP, that are the basis for our aids (e.g., Tuckman, Fixed Income Securities, 2nd Edition; James Stock and Mark Watson, Introduction to Econometrics, Brief Edition).

Not all of our customers, nor exam takers generally, study these assigned/source readings ... due to the high difficulty of the exam, I have tended to recommend reading them in addition to any aids because it constitutes a "second pass" (or a first pass) of difficult materials. But this depends on the individual; candidates entering with proficiency do not need to do this. But candidates who are without background probably should (IMO).

David,

Will you be providing a copy of the 2011 GARP Practice Exam as you did for the 2010 one for premium members? I find it easier to get all the review material from one website rather than jumping between GARP Library and Bionic Turtle.

Thanks and regards,
Todd

Hi Todd - Yes, we will (I do understand that it is convenient to have centralized), plus as before, we will "super-annotate" on a lagged basis, so we will have both versions ... although, we don't have 2010 practice exam(s) yet: GARP sent the AIMs Friday and our contact said the 2010 practice exams were not quite ready yet.

Thanks!
David
