    2021 Exam Update from GARP (for 2020 postponed exam updates only)

    New restrictions in Montreal coming tomorrow. Unclear whether exams will take place. I hope the abovementioned exemption for "critical" exams remains in effect in Montreal...

    2021 Exam Update from GARP (for 2020 postponed exam updates only)

    Anyone notice how the online questions bank from GARP is now unavailable? I checked last week and it was full of (2020) curriculum questions. Now it says that they are working on 2021 curriculum questions and they will be available soon. No 2020 questions even though I am scheduled to write 2020...

    Based on what we saw in November, I wouldn't bet against GARP cancelling exams during the week of or the day of - as witnessed in the case of Malaysia, which was cancelled 3-4 hours before.

    2020 Exam Update from GARP (updated on a regular basis)

    Anyone think it's an odd twist of fate that the November 2020 candidates in some jurisdictions got to write the exams before those originally scheduled for May 2020? :p For example, May was postponed to October in Montreal, and then again to January, but November went ahead as planned from what...
