I passed Part I and used the BT materials. The practice problems were invaluable and the forum discussions aided in derivations when necessary. Thank you!!

Passed part 2 with 121231. Used BT materials.

Overall I would say the content is hard to master, but not hard to master to a necessary level to pass the exam.

I passed part 2 with 143321. Used BT materials.

This exam was definitely trickier than part 1.

Thanks David and BT for all your help!

I left the exam with an ambiguous feeling. Part 2 was quite tricky compared to Part 1 and had several poorly worded questions and some very specific questions probably covering a sentence one rather skips when going through the GARP material.

As with Part 1, BT prepared me well and in the end it was more than sufficient to pass. I do believe that they removed several questions in the scoring procedure.

Overall, passed with 111112.

Thank you, David and Nicole. Superb content and mentoring!

I didn't pass again. I think BT notes are too detailed and that is the problem. Getting lost in notes.

I wish you guys would consolidate material NOT ADD MORE STUFF

I did not pass Part 1, I didn't use BT but I used a Prep Provider who endorsed David Harper and BT. I am registering again for May 2024 exam window and I will be using BT. The November 2023 exam was justifiable, it is possible...I believe I will pass this time around on 2nd attempt and with BT support.
 
Passed level 2 with 111312 using bionic turtle notes and prep questions and GARP and other providers mock exams.

I would say that the lack of many practise questions in the Treasury and Liquidity Risk Management affected my score negatively. Similarly the many questions in Market and Credit Risk helped a lot in the exam.

I am definitely happy of going with you guys for both parts and really like David’s approach and style (watched a podcast with him on YouTube).

Detailed material, i see it as a way not to miss any spot. you have to weigh in more practice examples. because sometimes reading words may not help us absorb the concept, until we engage in the example problems. i learned significantly through those examples. Im sure youll smash it in the next round. All part of the game.

GARP is teaching people overly theoretical gibberish and fake sophistication via exam questions with tiny and irrelevant details. They are not focusing on the core concepts.

Hi all,

I passed the part I with good results. The summaries, practice questions and forum discussions were extremely helpful.

Congrats on all who passed it and good luck to the rest!
