    Loan specific knowledge

    Hi, I hope this is an appropriate place to post this. :oops: I am looking for comprehensive information on everything related to the pricing and structuring of loans in the context of a bank providing these to financial institutions. I was hoping some of you could recommend me some relevant...

    Credit risk for 2013

    Thank you David for the advice in regards to the level of testability of some topics, very useful! Is it possible for you to do a very short summary of what material we should focus more and less on for each book going forward?

    Still waiting for 2013 FRM Part 2 core readings from GARP

    Schweser has enabled online access to their material - so far, only market risk is available (with a few videos) but its a start. Skipped the GARP readings for part 2, I can see I'm not missing much then lol

    There are lot of people who are misusing Bionic Turtle Risk Education Portal

    Only once did I receive spam email through this site, but to be honest, there isn't much you can do about it really. This kind of scenario occurs almost everywhere. I'm not sure if this was put in place when I registered on the site, but maybe David and Suzanne can look into a human verification...

    CFA CFA candidates, take note of this case

    I remember reading this - It's a tough place to be in! :( btw, not sure if you've already used this site or need to, but this could be quite useful for you as you attempt L1 http://www.investopedia.com/exam-guide/cfa-level-1/ethics-standards/default.asp

    How come Kaplan is selling 2013 books if the list of reading materials/topics is not published yet b

    Hard copy, but I think delivery will be relatively quick. Within a week. It's still not the best, but you'll have to make do I guess.

    They are taking orders but they're not published yet. They will be beginning of Feb (that's what I was told for part 2 anyways)

    Still waiting for 2013 FRM Part 2 core readings from GARP

    You can try searching for the books in your local library, or a more academically heavy library. Also, Ebay is a good place for some cheap books, you can find a lot of recent university students/graduates wanting to get rid of them for a low price.

    Still waiting for 2013 FRM Part 2 core readings from GARP

    Yeah it's not a good look to be honest, but you could just read up on the individual sections/topics from the readings found on the 2013 AIMS. How has BT's products been so far in teaching you p2? I'm going to be sitting both parts in May so I'm doing abit of both atm. I will be skipping the...

    WTF? Proctor asks me to lend my spare calculator to another candidate...

    It wouldn't have killed you to lend him your calculator now would it? A bit excessive in my opinion. I bet you didn't even need to use the second one. If your calculator was unusable then he could have passed it back to you. Totally reasonable imo. I get that it can be considered a GARP...

    FRM Level 1 Nov 2012 Feedback

    Yeah I'm 99% sure it was around 30 something percent (there was only one option containing this value anyway as the rest were below 30%). Very similar to David's practice questions.

    FRM Level 1 Nov 2012 Feedback

    Not sure if we're allowed to discuss the paper yet, but might as well get the thread started for when we do. Feel free to delete my comments if I shouldn't talk about it yet. How did everyone find it? Questions were definitely not as hard as the questions on BT (most were a notch easier, if...

    CFA vs. FRM

    From what I've heard, CFA is harder due to the sheer scope of content. FRM goes into alot more detail than the CFA does in selected topics, so I would assume it's harder in that sense as you need to know all the in's and out's rather than just a general understanding. Also the recommended...
