Does anyone know the October 2020 part passing rate is?
what happened ?Does anyone have their email adress where my attorney can contact them? What GARP is doing is in my eyes just scam. Who threats Clients like this, shouldn't talk to strangers - it still hurts how I had to fight the proctors back in November.
I just have to say, you have an amazing memory. You have come to the right field. I wish my coworkers had a memory like yours.The exam was okay except that there was a digress from the expected. Off the top of my head, I could recall questions from the following topics:
1. ERM
2. Calculations on CAPM (given just the risk premium)
3. Difference between APT and CAPM
4. Ranking using treynor
5. Sharpe ratio
6. GARP code of conduct
7. LTCM
8. Risk appetite
9. Fama-french model
10. Lehman Brothers
11. Rating agencies ( I think I saw something on this)
12. Two probability questions (1 on Bayes rule and the other on conditional probability with replacement)
13. Distributions (binomial, poisson, student's T)
14. Hypothesis testing
15. Cook distance
16. Non-stationary time series (random walk, unit roots)
17. Jarque-Bera test
18. Confidence interval
19. Define benefit pension plan
20. Originate to distribute model
21. Variation, maintenance and initial margin
22. Optimal number of contract
23. Forward rates
24. Bond duration
25. Lots of questions on foreign exchange markets
26. Interest rate parity
27. Mortgages and MBS
28. Cheapest to deliver
29. Option trading strategies (butterfly option)
30. Put call parity
31. BSM with dividend
32 Exotic options
33. Calculations on VaR and ES
34. Subadditivity
35. VaRr of a portfolio
36. Updated correlation/covariance
37. Hazard rate
38. Calculation of bond price using bootstrapping
39. Law of one price
40. Bond spread
41. Carry roll down assumptions
42. Wrong way risk
43. American styled binomial option pricing
44. Greeks
The exam mirrored the GARP' s practice questions infact a question was repeated from it. The BT team did well in preparing her users (their questions were quite challenging and sometimes discouraging because I felt like my effort was been downplayed each time I attempted the question pack; it was all part of the preparation).
The exam required in depth study of the learning objectives and proper knowledge of the concepts. It was 50% qualitative and 50% quantative.
I really can't say how well I did. Hoping for the best in January.
I hope this helps.
