Well usually only people who pass share this in the forum. You are running into a small sample bias here!

Keep calm. Quartile results will come during the day. It takes some time, dont freak out ;) the pass/fail information is important, not the quartiles.

It will not change! 100% sure.

Well come on they will not change the Website results. Call GARP to be reassured.

Details will come visible soon I guess on the webpage. Congrats to all who managed it!

YES YES INDEED! It's game over, man! I did it and this without reading half of the operational risk readings and without reading 'current issues' at all. Anyway, David you are the 'man tonight' - this is for sure! I am comparing the win of the US open by Stan Wawrinka over Djokovic last year...

@BongoBolognes: what do you infer from this? Positive feeling?

sorry guys, I am a Part II candidate and my status changed from saying 'yo have to pass part II until 2020' and now it is ' Your enrollment will expire on November 2021' and if I try to register for Part II it says 'there are no exams to register for'. Strange!

Hi All, I would like to add a couple of bullet points to the theory about the Information Ratio (IR) for a better understanding. 1.) In certain cases (in certain articles) alpha is defined as 'Tracking difference' which is the simple difference between the return generated by the manager and...

Hi All, I wanted to raise the following topic and share my insights about Cash-funded vs. syntethic CDO and whether one of these requires the borrower notification/obtaining borrower consent? This could be of one of these tricky questions in the exam (similarly engineered questions have turned...

Hi David, as promised I want to clarify a few things here. First of all you don't mention that the Annualization Factor is calculated using the attached (copied) formula; to be precise the so called Annualization Factor involves the square root. Hence as in your post would be 3.16%, 3.79% and...

Excellent reply! I will add another couple of points over the next few days.

Hi All, I just wanted to share an important topic which is unfortunately completely neglected in the GARP curriculum. Under the assumptions of i.i.d we know that the following properties apply to the scaling of mean and variance (volatility) - I am referring to C. Alexander 'Market Risk...
