Exam Feedback November 2016 Part 2 Exam Feedback

[Siqueue]

After the exam I was very worried to fail but now got 1,1,1,1,1! I am speechless, thanks a ton David, Nicole and all! I would never been able to juggle work and exam without this forum!

Ha, I came out of the exam feeling pretty good then read this thread, got depressed, and started worrying about failing only to get straight 1s as well. Pretty much the same as for level 1, in fact. Never had exams that were so hard to estimate my results...

Guys for the work experience, what should we understand by manager name?
Is it our own name or the name of our manager?... I am not sure to understand the usefulness of this..

Your manager. For checking your work experience.

Do they call the manager? I have past managers that I am not sure if reachable as contact was old!

I put my manager's name as well, however, they didn't ask for manger's contact info, not sure how would they reach them.

 

[emilioalzamora1]

the question is: do they call every single manager and ask for the details or is it just a formality? Judging from some comments of colleagues here I guess they don't get in touch with the manager.
Can anyone please elaborate?

My question: does consultancy work (over periods of 3months) count as work experience in risk?

They might. It's probably random or discretionary based on your work experience. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're trying to trick them.

 

[frmpart2dan]

how long after you put in experience details till you can use the FRM title?

 

[frmpart2dan]

Does anyone has a sample 4 lines description of job experience as a reference point?

 

[Nicole Seaman]

Congratulations to all of you who passed! For those who didn't pass, keep trying and don't give up!!

PASSED part 2! Thank you Bionic Turtle!

 

[Xin Zhan]

Studied for 2 months while on maternity leave, had no clue after the first round of reading. Did all of David's question, i through it's unnecessary difficult, but the exam is just as difficult. Thank you David and the team! David is always on the forum to answer questions, couldn't have passes without you! Best study material for FRM.

I used schweser for part 1 and believe the only reason I passed was that I found some BT videos on youtube and watched them over and over again. I said if I passed part 1 that I would definitely use BT for part 2 and I did.
I even did better on part 2 than part 1. 3,2,1,1,2.
I have already recommended BT to a few colleagues who were on part 1 and blown away by how unprepared they were.
Thanks for your help David and BT!

 

[emilioalzamora1]

Great @adambschrier! I think for qualitative readings when looking for brief summaries Schwester notes are quite good as well. Even if they come with some mistakes occassionally as I have already pointed out to James Bullard (Rutgers University) who is an instructor at Schweser. But for all the more technical aspects there is only BT!

Congratulations to all of you who passed! For those who didn't pass, keep trying and don't give up!!

Yes, that would be of great help..please forward a sample job description...people!!

 

[frmpart2dan]

Does anybody have sample experience description?

 

[Moey]

Does anybody have sample experience description?

Com'on people - work experience is specific to the individual, there is no generic template.

Go to the page on Garp where you get your results. On the right side of the page you can click to submit your work experience. The process involves entering your work experience in a series of webforms: dates, title, company, manager, and a 100 word job description for each role.
