Hi all,
I saw in Schweser web site that 2007 material is yet to be circulated. Can we go for group buying? Who will coordinate? what will be the cost?

1. The Schweser notes are supposed to be more than sufficient for the CFA tests..

Is the same applicable for the FRM test too?

2. Also, I'd be interested if any group purchase of the notes happens, so please keep
us updated tumtum..

Although I have not given it myself my roomie passed the FRM last yr and he was saying that saying that Schweser won't be enuff.He had to read up a lot from Hull and and read up a lot of concepts on the internet.

Hello friends,

I just got an email today that registrations for 2007 FRM exam have started. The fees is $500. Make sure that you guys register before April 30, 2007 or else you will end up paying $650 for registration ($150 more).

I am just making a formal application to my company for reimbursing the fees and will register as soon as I am granted the approval. Should get it by this evening.

Also, I will soon arrange for Schweser notes and will keep you guys posted on the same.

When are you all getting registered?

Regards,

Tumtum.

Friends, the wait is finally over. I have registered for the 2007 exam. I have also talked to some people who would be instrumental in getting me the latest Schweser notes. Let's see how it unfolds.

Regards,

Tumtum.

Hi puys !

The zerox copy of original Schweser notes for 2007 FRM exam is available in Mumbai at the following address:

Laxmi Copy centre
Shop 1, VM Mehta Road
Opp. Rasraj Hotel, Near Mithibai College,
Vile Parle (West)
Mumbai - 56
Ph - 022 2613 4350/5051. Mob 9820541867

This is the same guy who also gives zeroxed Schweser notes for the CFA exams.

You all can call there at the given numbers and get the latest material. He told me that FRM material will be available after March 15, 2007.

Hope that solves this vexatious issue of reading material availablilty !

Cheers and happy reading !

Regards,

Tumtum.

Yes I am but from your enemy camp...ICFAI.....Hehe

Jokes apart. I would suggest that you dont go for any such misadventure because CFA L2 is pretty heavy and FRM is as we know- arguably heavy. You will get time of only 4 months to prepare for FRM exams if you register for both. Just give it a thought!

On a second thought, if your company is paying for both then you may as well register for both...hehe !
