Hi,

Can some one please share FRM Level 1 Material with me.

hiii frnds.. i have heard frm involves a lot of quants. i m nt too good in maths n stats n maybe that is keeping me away from frm.. i wish to register for may 12 L1 exam.. please help frnds. m reeli in a fuss. i have cleared inter CA n LLB 2nd year. should i just go for it? 😃

Hi Harry,

Nodoubt about it that FRM is very quantitative. I will recommend not to take up FRM if you are not good in quants. Even risk professional jobs are also quants intense. So, even if you make it to FRM, risk professional job will be an issue for you. I hope it helps.

Thanks,
Kunal

Do the companies hire guys you clear the FRM exams or CFA is a better option?

BTW: If I am not working in the Finance Field and want to change the industry

Dear FRM aspirants,

I am writing some things about the exam from my own experience of taking the exam in November 2010.I guess things would not change substantially this time round.

Inside the question paper, somewhere between two pages, OMR answer sheet is enclosed. The answer sheet has another paper attached to it so that whatever ovals you darken also appear on the other paper.In US parlance, they call it 'carbon paper'.The answer sheet and carbon paper are attached to each other using perforations on the top as well as left margin. Once the invigilator instructs, remove the answer sheet and attached carbon paper by pulling along the perforation on the LEFT side. Leave the perforations on the top untouched. By mistake, I had pulled at least 20% of the top perforation and I was really worried whether my answer sheet will be graded or not.Fortunately it was graded but why take chances?

In XAT,SNAP and other MBA entrance exams, you can change answer by completely erasing old answer and darkening new oval.However FRM follows different method.You CANNOT use eraser. If you want to change the answer, leave the already darkened oval untouched, darken the oval that you feel is the appropriate answer.Thus two ovals will remain darkened.In order for their computer to know which one of the two was the right answer expected to you, there is a blank square just next to ovals of the OMR. Just write 'A'/'B' or whatever corresponding to YOUR answer.Please note that whatever you write on OMR sheet is getting recorded on the carbon paper.If you use eraser on OMR sheet,it will erase only your answer on OMR sheet but whatever you have recorded earlier would be still visible on the carbon paper.If there is a mismatch between OMR sheet and carbon paper, that might lead to problems. Still carry an eraser because you might need it for rough calculations.

Thirdly,you have to return the question paper along with answer sheet.At any point, do not remove carbon paper from the answer sheet.If I remember it right, I had to sign on the question paper as well.You cannot carry the question paper with you.

Fourthly, you can do the rough calculations on the question paper.There are couple of pages in the question paper for rough calculations. I used them and I also used blank space on other pages to perform rough calculations.

Also make sure that you get enough practice of using the financial calculator. Some keys and functionalities on that calculator are not very obvious. Ordinary scientific calculator follows BODMAS rules but I guess BA Professional Plus of Texas Instrument does not.Get to know all such nuances and avoid last minute confusion.

They are very strict about time.If they say that doors will be locked at 7.45 AM, they mean it.Also once the invigilator asks to stop, just stop at once.They can file a violation report with GARP in case any of their instructions is not followed.

By now you might have received your hall tickets online.Get the printout of the hall ticket and remember that you are not supposed to write anything on the printout of the hall ticket.Hall Ticket will mention your GARP ID and seat number. One day before the exam, they put up the list of room numbers in the center and the examinees with GARP IDs in respective rooms.

I appeared for exam in Mumbai at Thakur College, Kandivali.On the day of the exam, I found out that according to GARP ID chart displayed the previous day, I was supposed to be in one room and according to seat number, I was supposed to be in some other room.Same was the case with pretty much everybody.That caused some confusion initially and we had to see the concerned person to find out the right room.If that happens, don't panic. During FRM L2, invigilator wrote the correct seat number on my Hall Ticket printout. I told him that according to GARP rules, nothing should be written on the hall ticket but he told me that they would take care of this. So the bottomline is if invigilator writes something on the hall ticket, tell him/her that it is against rules (of course it will be taken care of in case invigilators write something) but in any case do not write anything on your hall ticket on your own.

I am just writing all this to make you aware of what to expect in actual FRM. Don't get unnecessarily tensed up because of all these details.Just know that you might face something like this on the D-Day. Again the disclaimer applies-- I am writing this from my own experience of appearing for FRM in November 2010.Their rules might be same or might have been changed.So apply your own judgment.

Good luck for your FRM. I am sure that you all will rock!!!
