Hello All,
About 3 hours ago, I finished taking the FRM part I exam in Chicago and I felt that it was a fair test. My assessment is that the Bionic Turtle questions are more difficult that you would see on the exam- this is all relative since within the BT questions bank there are different levels of difficulty. My point is that even if you are scoring low 60s on the Mock exams, you can have a good chance of passing the exam.
Now, after the exam, I am fairly confident that I passed. I feel that I knew at least 66 questions, had about 20 educated guesses, and about 14 total guesses. I saw more qualitative questions that I expected so I could have done better if I had spent more time reviewing more qualitative material.
My advise for new FRM I candidates would be to use the Bionic Turtle notes and questions, and read the FRM books for the qualitative topics. I personally only used the BT notes/questions and ,in retrospect,it was all I needed.
Also, I found this warnings helpful: http://www.analystforum.com/forums/frm-forum/91316302
Good luck!
