Besides what has been discussed in the podcast, I would like to share a comprehensive strategy which I feel will surely help someone preparing for the exam effectively: 1. Understand the Exam Structure FRM Part I: It consist of Foundations of Risk Management (20%), Quantitative Analysis (20%), Financial Markets and Products (30%) and Valuation and Risk Models (30%). There will be 100 Objective Questions. FRM Part II: It consist of Market risk measurement and Management (20%), Credit Risk measurement and Management (20%), Operational Risk and Resilience (20%), Risk Management and Investment Management (15%), Liquidity & Treasury Risk Measurement & Management (15%) and Current issues in Financial Markets (10%). There will be 80 Objective questions. 2. Create a Study Plan Timeline: Allocate at least 4-5 months for Part I and 5-7 months for Part II. Daily Study Goals: Aim for 2-3 hours of average study per day. Weekly Reviews: Set aside time each week to review what you've learned. 3. Gather Study Materials GARP Official Books: These are the most reliable source of information. Third-Party Study Guides: Providers like Kaplan Schweser etc offer condensed study guides and practice questions. Online Resources: Use GARP’s e-learning resources, webinars, and forums. One should streamline his preparation by subscribing to Vardeez.com 4. Practice Questions and Mock Exams Practice Regularly: Use question banks to practice daily. Mock Exams: Take full-length practice exams under timed conditions. Analyze Performance: Identify weak areas and focus on improving them. 5. Join Study Groups Online Forums: Engage with communities like Telegram or whatsapp group. Local Study Groups: Join or form local groups to discuss difficult topics. 6. Regular Revision Summarize Notes: Create summary notes for quick revision. Flashcards/Sticky notes/Postit: Use them for key concepts and formulas. 7. Time Management on Exam Day Mock Exam Strategy: Practice managing time during mock exams. Exam Strategy: Answer easy questions first, then return to difficult ones. 8. Stay Updated with Current Financial News Financial News: Regularly read financial news to understand current market trends and events. 9. Maintain Health & Well-being Healthy Routine: Ensure you get enough sleep, eat well, & exercise regularly. Stress Management: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga. 10. Stay Motivated Set Goals: Break down your study plan into achievable goals. Reward Yourself: Give yourself small rewards for completing milestones.
