FRM Level 2 Quantiles .. - 1 : 1 : 2 : 1 : 1 .. Amazing Times .. celebration starts

I passed as well .. have been checking this on a daily basis - now today I get this message Our records show that you have already passed the FRM Exam. Once accreditation is awarded, you do not need to retake the exam. Passed .. woohooooo

Ok .. I haven't tried that trick yet .. but there is not guarantee that they have updated the databases with the results yet - so ppl who appeared for Level II will still show as eligible to register for Level II and ppl who appeared for Level I will still show as elligible to register for Level...

Hi Pojo - that tricked worked well till last year - they have fixed this bug now - and everyone who registered and have taken the exam is provided with the following message Thank you for trying to register for the FRM / ERP Exam. Because you registered for the same Exam and the 2012 Exam...

Hi Majesta, Why are you trying to register so early - ofcourse it will allow you to register - I think the trick only works 1 day before or maybe the result day - they wouldn't have updated the systems yet. Or maybe they will have even fixed the bug this year - so no guarantee it will work

So I am getting an exact 60 out of 80 (after considering that I have got wrong - (1) anything which I am unsure about I mark wrong; (2) the answers I know I have surely got incorrect now after reading the reasonings over here) I hope it is enough for me to pass the exam - I just can't think of...

Hi David, I will really appreciate if you can please comment on this one. Many Thanks

another trick I am sure most of you guys know is - just before the exam result day - or more better the same day (especially for ppl in UK) - who don't want to wait till late night (last time FRM published results at around 9 pm). You can log into your portal and re-register for the exam - if...

i think in absolute terms anyone who scores around 60 / 100 passes easily :)

I think ur calculation is flawed - how can you calculate this on an absolute basis - what David and Aleks were talking about was in terms of percentile - i.e - taking a cut off the top 5% assume the top 5% figure came as 90 / 100 - so the benchmarks becomes 90 marks. Then GARP decides on the a...

argghhh .. yeah good will is deductable .. no one option seemed right to be honest - I selected C ( Investment in common stocks) .. no one has been able to give me the reasoning to which one has to be correct .. whoever selected Cross Holding Deposits say they selected it b/c all the other...

Hi Shanon, I see you have been really active on this forum - and thought I ask you about the Tier 1 Equity increase question? what option did you select? and why? Your input would be really valuable to me

yes this is a this is a tricky question as well - and answers will vary alot For the model risk one - I used Model assumptions too

Yes I believe so - I am pretty confident on atleast 80% of my paper - but still by nature become restless :). The 5 questions which I was most concerned about - Implied volatility one (chose in the money call - but if we just only look at the answers only one choice is possible - i.e Out of...

Can anyone pls confirm this one - I think this might be worth an input? Most of the ppl chose cross holding in other institution - but upon some search I see it should be deducted from core capital? isn't it the case

What I think is that the option C was not exactly about investment into own stock .. but there was some strange thing about the way it was written which confused me ( i.e - my perception only) Also here - topic in one of the Fitch training course REGULATORY CAPITAL The goal of this section...

However, where I read - it says cross-holding tends to inflate the capital and hence should be deducted ?

also does anyone know the answer to the factor that increased tier-1 capital. The wording was so confusing but from what I think the cross-holding option reduces the tier-1 capital - so I think C was the answer (but option C also looked like investment in own stock). The options were really...

Hi All - does anyone remm the question regards to - Calculate VaR for bond transition matrix? I have blanked out on this one?

Certainly - Decline in stock price provided an opportunity to increases the cash flow - Coupon is mere a static cash flow (not an increase) http://www.barclayhedge.com/research/educational-articles/hedge-fund-strategy-definition/hedge-fund-strategy-convertible-arbitrage.html The idea behind...
