Yes me too. I also sent a second mail (after the first in January) a week ago and got certified today. Many thanks again to BT and wish you all the very best!

"Voice mail is not set up" followed by a friendly "goodbye" regardless of which option I choose when calling them..

Good to know. Which number did you call? There are several on the garp webpage and I will call from germany.

Posted my work experience shortly after october exam results came out (end of november). Did not receive any work experience approval yet. So > 3 months for me so far... that's just annoying..

I passed with 1,2,1,3,4,2. Thank you BT! Congrats to all who made it. To all who did not make it. Keep it up! Wish you all the very best!

I understand that it is somehow exciting to look into the code with development tools, although it is probably just the outer shell. I don't think that the business logic itself can be inspected. Therefore I guess we just see initial values, which still need to get filled with real data. When...

I can remember the question to be like "if an ITM/OTM currency option is priced with BSM by using the implied volatility of an ATM option, then.." Since the IV of an ATM currency option is smaller than that of ITM/OTM currency options (volatility smile), their price will get underestimated.

No. They did not provide any mask. I used my own. But since it's on their page, it is still possible that they provide them I another country. Just can speak for Germany (Frankfurt).

Difficult to say, as other questions had a load of irrelevant information where you had saved a lot of time by doing so.. No wonder if GARP wouldn't follow a straight line here..

I think I selected "selection bias, and not survivorship bias" (this combination was one of the answers provided). I guess "no survivorship bias" because the hedge fund was not listed in the database as stated in the description of the problem. Not 100% sure on that one though.

I merely remember a question where MtM with and without netting was given and we had to compute the netting benefit.

That question was strange. Got one of the answers provided. BUT: First computed ES by starting from the "(2.5%x250)th - 1" value (as we are supposed to do for ES). That did not work out. Tried avaraging by starting from "(2.5%x250)th" value, which worked instead (or at least I found a VaR / ES...

I believe the (given) joint probability was about 0.01, yes. Don't remember what the answer was but I applied correlation = [ PD_1_2 - PD_1 * PD_2 ] / [ SQRT(PD_1*(1-PD_1))*SQRT(PD_2*(1-PD_2)) ] with PD_1_2 being joint probability and PD_1 and PD_2 the individual PDs.

Hello all, attended the exam in Frankfurt on Saturday. I scored 76.25 % in BT mock exam 2020 on my first attempt. Further I did the GARP Practice Exam 2020 and two Schweser 2019 Practice Exams, scoring 67.5 %, 62.5 % and 56.25 % (Schweser questions were poorly written in several cases)...

Alright. Thank you Nicole.

Hi David, unless I missed something in the forum, I found nothing on about when the Global Topic Review on Liquidity and Treasury Risk Measurement and Management will be released. Since it is roughly one week before the exam, I doubt that it will be released at all. Thanks in advance! Kind...

Hello Nicole, that was very helpful! Thanks! Kind regards, Marco

Hello Nicole, thank you for that statement and reminder. I think that we all appreciate the time and effort you and david put into the preparation of the new materials. I'm sure it is quite challenging to integrate the new syllabus into the learning materials. On the other hand all the people...
