yes you are right. Handbook is at bookzone only. I mailed the bookzone guy and asked about the handbook and he quoted me the above mentioned price for the book. All the conversation was through e mail so there is no question of not hearing things properly. I will re check the book before buying and i am thinking of visiting the bookstore this weekend.

I suggest you guys can start from 2007 study material. There will be minimal changes in current year
Any one interested to buy 2007 material email me to thadamal@yahoo.com

Thanks

hi thadamal,
well let me inform u about changes in FRM2008 course
1. as we all know the most drastic change is in quant section with gujarati being introduced also for Var portion a new reading by paul willmott is introduced in place of jurion in quant part. Var being an important part of course i dont think we can ignore willmott at all.
2. in credit risk portion also there is a major dhange by introduction of 3 chapters of Michael 0ng and one chapter of hull in credit derivatives section which again is an important part in credit risk section, also a reading related to subprime mortgage have been introduced
3. changes have also been market and operational risk portion but not so concrete as in above mentioned two portions.
hence i think changes in quant and credit risk section cant be ignored at all.
Also can anybody please tell me where these new books are avilable on net bc i dont want to buy whole scheweser and core readings again for these few books

Hi buddy,

U wont find these books on the net, especially the Essential Econometrics - Guajarati. Theres also a Solution Manual for it too.

The only other Alternatives to have the full sets is to buy the Core Readings, when they arrive in the market.

or Order directly online from Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more

I just dont understand, why GARP recommends expensive books and those that are not easily available worldwide.

P.S: Its wiser to invest another 3-4k on the latest books and clear the exam, than too save those bucks and fail in the exam.


So lets make some wise investments and optimum utilisation of resources.


I am very sure, we would recover our investments pretty quickly after clearing the exam.


cheers,

Shyam
