I received my cert yesterday - I'm in the UK.

An excellent mischaracterisation of what I said. Well I wish you will on your mission to read ever more books as, using your logic, even reading every book referenced on the FRM curriculum is "minimalist." What about all the material which wasn't included? I trust you'll be buying and reading...

I find this a bit offensive to be honest. The original question was: While more books and more studying does lead to a "better understanding of the curriculum" this is trivially so - you are hardly going to decrease your understanding by reading more - and not helpful to answer the sense of...

Certified, 13 Jan 17 at 20.30, experience submitted 03 Jan 17 at 9.30 (all times GMT).

Hmm, I submitted at 4.30 EST and still no word.

Um, no. I don't know how many books there are in total (I never looked at any originals) but I'm pretty sure there were quite a few with a single chapter, maybe two, referenced. Buying them all would be very expensive, particularly as you'd have build an extension on your house to fit them all...

Oh, you got your results on the 2nd? Wow, didn't think they started posting till the 3rd. Anyway, congratulations on the certification.

Thanks. I was about 9 GMT so waaay behind you :)

Congratulations! That is certainly beating the queue. What timezone was that?

I think you only need to demonstrate two years experience but I did put in about six years just to be sure - didn't want to fail to get the accreditation just because I didn't fill in enough forms (as I have about 10 years of relevant experience). The supervisor switch confused me - think it is...

Go to the page on Garp where you get your results. On the right side of the page you can click to submit your work experience. The process involves entering your work experience in a series of webforms: dates, title, company, manager, and a 100 word job description for each role.

I put my manager's name.

Ha, I came out of the exam feeling pretty good then read this thread, got depressed, and started worrying about failing only to get straight 1s as well. Pretty much the same as for level 1, in fact. Never had exams that were so hard to estimate my results...

Same here!

Passed. Phew.

But that is bilateral netting, no? Which they already did.

Ok, things I recall: There was a question on CCP: A country has three dealers (X, Y, Z) and a set of collateralised exposures are listed. The dealers have bilateral netting agreements but the govt is investigating setting up a CCP. How much collateral would be freed up? (I got that the total...

I thought the first half was fine but it then got quite tough indeed. The last set of questions based on the bank data was really tough in particular. Compared to L1 I was not stretched for time. Left with about 50 mins to go.

Hope there is nothing horrible going on where ever you are @Linghan ... Best of luck to all tomorrow...just realised in less than 24hrs I'll be done entirely.

There were (I think - memory sucks) two pages of scratch paper in the centre of the exam book. So four sides of a4, all told. I ended up not using it as it was too awkward to keep flicking from the questions back to the scratch paper. Maybe I'm just fussy but when doing a question I like to lay...
