Hello, David.

Probably this is the first time to write in your forum. I have not intended to take the FRM exam before I had to take a derivative class in my university. After the first two sessions of the class I was not sure if I could strive in the class, but I found out that FRM was dealing quite in-depth in derivatives section so I enrolled into a regional FRM program. The lectures provided by our local providers was overall ok, but each five section was lectured by different person and some was superb and some was I guess in my view point mediocre especially in operational risk section. The time when I enrolled in my local class was early April, and after a few months later I found out there was a great FRM course provider named BT, and I guess I found this site in the mid July. Although, I did not enroll as a premium member, simply because I could not afford to spend additional bucks because I have already spent nearly 1,000 bucks for the local course and did not have sufficient time to enroll in an additional course and master it, but I did find your forum, newsletters, and screencasts at youtube very informative. Especially even when I did read the Schweser notebooks a several time regarding the legal issues of operational risk, I had no idea what it was talking about but only until I have seen your 10 minute sample screencasts I got it. Credit derivative portfolio screencasts was superb, and it was only after seeing your tutorials that I knew how subprime bubbles were created. I have regretted myself not knowing this website and the 100% probability that I could have enrolled in this membership earlier. I have to say in this moment, without your sample screencasts and your website I might have not been able to success in my 2008 examination. Sorry for the free lunch, but I just wanted to express thanks of your materials.
Yes, I did take the exam at November, and I did pass the exam with a 2-1-1-1-2 quartile ranking, but I am willing to take BT course to make my knowledge even more solid. In my situation I want to know the payment rate that applies to me.
Once again thanks for your great job, and I look forward for my study prospects with your course.

Donald,

Thanks very much for your kind feedback. My intent has always been to give useful free resources in addition to providing a valuable paid membership. So I am thrilled the free resources were useful. In regard to "In my situation I want to know the payment rate that applies to me," I do not have a good current answer, I am busy deploying the 2009 FRM website, etc. I will see if we can figure an option for FRM graduates.

Thanks very much, David
