Hi EK - Yes, you'll notice I am currently writing Tuckman Chapter 5 in Today's Quiz at http://forum.bionicturtle.com/forums/todays-quiz.53/
... our planner has us finishing Chapter 5 on May 1st (publish soon thereafter) and Chapter 6 before the exam, thanks
So are there any topics you could suggest in the tuckman chapters 1-6 strictly in terms of sums/ formulas where calculation could be required as dont see anything from tuckman aims in your list above? Or are they all purely non quantitative.
Appreciate your help
Chapter 5 (key rate exposures) was previously an FRM Part 2 (Market Risk) Topic (Chapter 7 in 2nd Edition). In 2013, it has been moved to Part 1, with unclear implications: it has never seen high testability, it has historically been (grossly) over-assigned but maybe (hopefully) this reflects an intent to give multi-factor a little more attention.
Chapter 6 (regression hedges) is entirely new to the FRM (old Chapter 8, but never assigned). If history is a guide, I'd expect low testability in May, increasing maybe in November (but maybe even not).
I will say I am grateful GARP responded to feedback requesting for some consolidation of Tuckman, previously single-factor material (duration & DV01) were all over the place, but the 2013 represents a cleaner organization:
Duration (single-factor) and multi-factor are squarely in P1.T4, and
