    No watch allowed during the exam?

    Toronto Centre: I had a wrist-watch sitting in front of me both Level I and II and was never challanged. GARP needs to be explicit on this issue. For me knowing the time when I want to is of utmost importance while taking the test. Both times, the wall clock in the exam centre was not visible...

    FRM Level 2, Nov 2012: Expected cutoff /passing score ( out of 80)

    This is based on my personal experience of taking L2 in May 2012. I most certainly got 20 wrong. For the remaining 60, I can say with great confidence that I got 56 right. I thought I had 50-50 chance at passing. When the results came out, I was pleasantly surprised to see my self in the top...

    Physical certificate

    Thanks....You should receive them any day now. It should not have direct relation with confirmation email. If you made it into the batch that they are processing on 23rd Sept, they will be shipped after that date with no particular order. I guess it only depends on when they actually shipped it...

    Merton model, a summary of the issues

    Distance to default is how many standard deviations (asset volatility) is the final asset value is from the default point, which is correctly shown in the answer given. This is as per Moody's KMV model. I am not sure why you are taking natural logs here. That's not KMV methodology.

    A brain teaser about QE3

    They can print as much money as they wish but the unavoidable consequence by doing that is the inflation as pointed out by earlier posters. QE3 will cuase inflation too but substituting tax revenue by new paper money would cause super hyper inflation as there will be much more money in the...

    Exam Logistics

    No. But the white space in the question paper is more than enough for workings... My memory is a bit vague but GARP did provide the normal distribution tables in May 2012 exams...

    Anybody knows how long it takes for GARP to verify the work experience

    Sod did I. I think GARP mentioned that it take from a few days to a month to have the evaluations done. But unfortunately, they are not sticking to the deadlines. I just asked my boss if he received anything from GARP to authenticate my experience. But he has not seen anything yet. So I guess...

    Trying to make the early reg deadline - please help

    Jsmith887 I guess there is no perfect method or approach for these tests but some are better than the others. Ideally, you will buy GARP reading materials, read/understand them and retain all that in your head. But that is not only practically impossible, it is also very very time consuming to...
