Hi to everyone,

I have registered for FRM 2009 full exam. But haven't started any preparation yet. And i plan to switch to FRM 2009 Level 1 exam as i feel that i won't be able to give the exam along with my job. I saw the GARP website and came to know that i need to pay $250 as processing fees for the same. But i am confused as to if i switch and then clear level 1, do i need to pay again for the level 2 or it gets adjusted since right now i have paid for the full exam (Rs. 27500) .... ?? .....because i feel if i have to, then that it would turn out to be very costly.......please let me know about the same as i need to take a call...........Thanks in advance !!

Dear friend,

For passing the exam schweser notes and handbook are more than sufficient. I would advie you NOT to get baffled by loads of other material, as this only make you more confused.

Dear Friend,

1) Yes, you are eligible for CFA L-1, though you'll be awarded the charter only after having relevant work experience.

2) Yes, thats not a very difficult thing to do. I know couple of people from non-finance background clearing CFA L-1

3) Yes, FRM is a good certification to get (and easier too ) in terms of time length and relevant work ex to get the degree. Though both FRM and CFA serve different purposes as discussed by other members in this thread.

Hi to everyone,

Can anybody help me out as to whether i should give level 1 or the full exam this year. I have registered for the 2009 FRM full exam but have not started studying as yet and am finding it difficult to do it with my job. I have an option of switching from full exam to level 1 in this year itself. Please help me out. People who have already started studying can guide me on this one as to whether the full level is manageable in the available time or i need to go for level 1 only.

Thanks in advance

Dear Vinay,

2-3 months of concentrated effort should be able to see you through the FRM full exam easily. Moreover you being an MBA, things should be comparitively easier for you.

@ Nitin,

Thanks a lot for addressing my query. So what would be the average hours per week i would have to give to clear the full exam? Because as of now, with my job i can give upto 9-10 hours per week. Is that enough? I am really confused and need to take a call asap. Your inputs can give me a direction.

Thanks in advance.
