It is extremely important that our members follow these forum guidelines. It saves everyone time and makes our forum a better resource. Just a reminder that before asking a question in the forum, you want to make sure that it has not been answered already before creating a new thread.

SEARCHING AND READING THE ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE POSTING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
  • Practice Questions: If you are asking a question about one of our practice questions, the original forum links are included on the answer pages of the practice question sets. Please make sure to read through the ENTIRE thread discussion before asking a question. It is VERY likely that your question has been asked and answered already.

  • Search Function: We have an excellent search function in the forum! You can type in a few words or a full sentence, and the search will bring up any threads that discuss the concept that you are looking for. Make sure to use the search function before posting a new thread. We really need our members to ALWAYS use the search function before posting. The search function is HERE.

  • Cross-Referencing: The FRM curriculum is very extensive so there may be times that you will find practice questions or other materials in the study planner that could be placed in more than one reading. There are some concepts that are relevant to duplicate readings (chapters). Please use the search function in the forum to find specific concepts by keyword. Our curriculum analysis spreadsheet is also very useful in finding specific concepts that may be relevant to more than one reading. We ask that you refrain from asking questions in the forum about which reading a specific concept pertains to. As you can tell, we match every learning objective to its corresponding practice questions, however, there are times that you will find that a concept will be relevant to more than one chapter so you will want to take the initiative to read through the other chapters before trying to answer a practice question if you are not able to answer it after reading one chapter.

  • Post reference question: When posting a question from an outside source (i.e. GARP, EOC source questions) please make sure to copy/paste the entire question, answer, and explanation. This saves us the time of having to search for the question that you are referencing, and it also allows the question to show up in the search results. Do NOT paste an image as the text within images cannot be found using the search function. Copy/paste the actual text.

  • GARP Practice Questions: When posting a query about a GARP practice question, please make sure to use the tag function to see if that question has been asked. The tags are formatted as follows: garp23-p1-20 would be question 20 from the GARP 2023 Part 1 practice exam. The tag search function is HERE. You can also copy the first sentence of the practice question into the search function, and it will bring up any discussions on that question. Also, do NOT paste an image, as the text within images cannot be found using the search function. Copy/paste the actual text.

  • Duplicate Posts: Please do not post the same question twice in different areas of the forum or even within the same thread. David sees every post in the forum, but that does not mean that he can answer every one of them immediately. We also cannot guarantee that every single question that is posted in the forum will be answered. There are only so many hours in one day and there are many other daily tasks that require attention.

This helps to ensure that our forum runs smoothly and is not unorganized with duplicate questions and answers. It also allows you to quickly see if your question has already been answered, which saves you time and it shows respect for our time as well! :)

We appreciate all of your participation in our forum! It has been such a great asset to FRM candidates!

Just a reminder that when you are posting questions about GARP PQs, we ask that you please follow this process:
  • First, use the search function to see if the question has already been posted by someone else.
  • Make sure each PQ is posted in its own thread. We tag them by the year, part, and question number (e.g., garp23-p1-70) for easy reference.
  • Copy/paste the actual text and not an image. The search function cannot search for text within images.
Following this process helps to keep our forum organized and allows our members to easily search for questions that have already been asked. Thank you.
