Q&A Appendix

[superpocoyo]

Hi David,

Do we need to go through Q&A Appendix (page 26 to 63) for P1.P1.T1? It is discontinued as of the 2013 FRM, not relevant to this year FRM level 1 exam?

Thanks

Melody

Hello @superpocoyo,

When you download the P1.T1 Question Set, you will see that on the first page of the Appendix, David has written that it is "Highly Optional Review" and he has noted that GARP discontinued these questions as of the 2013 FRM. He has also noted the following, "However, because this question set is still instructive to a Part 1 FRM candidate, we have retained the Q&A here in the appendix, in case you would like to skim it. Jorion Chapter 1 remains highly relevant."

Thank you,

Nicole

Thanks, Nicole.

Is it possible to obtain a copy of the slides for P1-1 Topic Review video please. Lots of useful exam examples in this video.

Hello @Jayanthi Sankaran,

I had to fix some of your forum permissions. You should now have access to the entire forum.

Thank you,

Hi Nicole,

Thanks a lot! Am now able to access the entire forum. Two more questions - (1) in your reply to Melody, above, you mention : "However, because this question set is still instructive to a Part 1 FRM candidate, we have retained the Q&A here in the appendix, in case you would like to skim it. Jorion Chapter 1 remains highly relevant." Which book of Jorion are you talking about?, and (2) what am I supposed to do with the trophies, assigned to me?

Thanks
Jayanthi

Hi @Jayanthi Sankaran !

1. She refers to Chapter 1 of Jorion's book Value at Risk (3rd edition), the same book which has Chapter 14 assigned for stress testing. It was dropped as the first reading, but in my opinion, it's actually a superior introduction to the current 1st reading (IFC) so we retained the note as an Appendix. Please note we'll update all of these for 2105; e.g., I expect and hope to see the 1st IFC reading dropped
2. Do you mean the Stars here in the forum? If so, each Friday, Nicole draws two random winners from among the pool of everybody who receives a Star (for contribution or noticing a mistake). Two winners each receive $15 gift certificates. We do this because to appreciate contribution and because it's fun

Hi David,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I appreciate it! (1) I will most definitely review Chapter 1 of Jorion's 'The need for Risk Management'. I completely agree with you on the IFC Reading in the 2014 GARP FRM Part I Book. I have also, ordered Rene Stuz's Book 'Risk Management and Derivatives' to take a shot at the Appendix Questions of BT Practice Questions Reading 8.
(2) Thanks for the clarification on the stars. Wonder how that will work out, because I am in India....It sure is motivating and fun
