Hi Coumar,

I would advise you to go with TI BA II Professional or Plus and not the HP one. Thats because, all the Schweser Notes of FRM or CFA will give explanations and calculations to numericals with the help of TI BA II PLus calculator.

Between Plus and professional, Professional is a bit more advanced and contains more functions than the Plus calci.

Regarding Schweser and Bionic Turtle - I would advise you to go with both of them. If thats not possible, One should go with Schweser.

cheers,

Shyam

I am taking FRM 2008. First, thanks for all the infos given in this thread.

I need your advice to chose the calculator for the exam. Which one of the two calculator is the better one?
Texas Instruments BA II Plus (including BA II Plus Professional)Hewlett Packard 12C (including the HP 12C Platinum)
I used to work with TI material during studies, but never tested HP.

Also, could you please advice me on the course providers. I am hesitating between schweser and bionicturtle.

Cheers,
Coumar

Hi Ravi,

GARP recommends around 150 - 200 hrs of preparation time. But this should vary according to the candidates educational background.

Yes, FRM exam is highly quantitative. you will be using your calci for 75-85 % Qs on the exam

Cheers,

Shyam
