Was that the higher or lower of the two smm options ?

think was 0,35

 

[Feola]

Well among the two SMM options yes that was it. But I selected this one because I forgot how to apply the PSA formula and so didn't even check those two so cant say!

I think it was that one (answer b if i remember correctly). The other 2 answers with psa resulted in a lower rate.

 

[Albertikos]

there was a tricky one which involved a regressión formula and a remember an input of 0,19 and the orher of 0,64... answer was 0.64? or was other different?

It was 0.64 as they only asked for the mean reversion rate.

It was 0.64 as they only asked for the mean reversion rate.

[Feola]

For the Ho-lee and the CIR question, did GARP provide the formula in the question?

For the hoo Lee no. For the CIR I think they did but I may be mistaken.

 

[Amns233]

Will someone be able to share the GARP practice exams for 2020? I am not able to find them on GARP's site, thanks.

 

[bld_kr]

Yes i remember that. The correspondent bank must not conduct due dilligence on the respondent bank's customers. They must conduct on the respondent bank

 

[SindujaP]

Does anyone know when the results are coming Out? Jan 4 or 5th?

 

[Feola]

It is stated as 4th of January on the website but I received an email last week stating that there was a delay due to the pandemics, and the new date would be the 5th. Something similar happened for the October exam.
