Thanks! a Lot (Pyronite)
Yes it really solves my problem of the Calculator, so better 2 go for
Professional.
But no help is coming my way in case of coaching centres for Ace & IQFI. Maybe, noone wants to comment.........but i think we should be willing 2 give feedback if anybody knows.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi All,
Not so good news for those who wish to base their studies on schweser notes only.
Schweser site now mentions availability date as Late June.
I talked to Laxmi copier, he also told that these will be available not before June 1st week.
But it also depends how schweser despacthes material.
Hi buddy,
Regarding FRM coaching it all depends upon whats ur expectation from the training. If you dont have a background of MBA Finance, Engineering etc Its advisable to have a longer duration training. If you have a good understanding of Derivatives, Probability and statistics a shorter duration of training will do.
Ace3levels, Pristine and IQF all are GARP listed FRM course providers, so all of them are definitely not just another household tution class. All of them would have FRM certified professionals teaching at their place
Now it all depends, on whats ur requirement from the training. If you want more guidance, study materials, just to get a head start or to have a macro understanding of the FRM exam. Figure out what do u need to know at the end of ur training.
Set an objective in ur mind, and visit both Ace and IQF. Visit their centre and Probe them on how they can assist you in preparation for FRM exam.
Point to be noted: Dont go and just chit chat with the centre counsellors, have a word with one of the professors over there. U will have a fair idea if you need to join them or not.
Every FRM coaching class has been centred on some USP, viz. duration of training, Costs, Professors, study materials etc. So I cannot rule out one as best and other as worst.
So its alone U to decide which one to join,
cheers,
Shyam 
Hi! Shyam, Anil & Everyone
Thanks Anil 4 the Links provided.
It seems Shyam knows a lot about FRM.
Please help me with the feedback on Ace. How good r they , since they r too costly. Whether it is worth the money.
Secondly any inputs for IQFI, the people who are interested in joining IQFI. The idea is both of these go gradually.
Thanks & Regards.
:)
Both institutes will stretch sessions over a long period.
So it will take most of ur sundays away from u.
I am not trying to discourage but still just putting my view.
So schedule your studies accordingly.
Rest is upto individual what would suit his/her reading style & timings.
About comparison between two, I dont have much idea.
Thanks! a Lot (Pyronite)

Well i am coming tp AIPGM for sure ...already booked my tickets :)....and Mumbaikars ka kya hai....head quarter pahunch jana Admin khud hi kuchh bandobast karega:P
And I meant here that there are few activities like discussions etc which can only be done locally i.e. within city teams only and then there are requirements like resource sharing, getting information for right material and all....which can be done through net also i.e. across city teams too, so please lets discuss on all of these this weekend in our respective city meets :)
And Btw, CAT ka (allegedly ambiguous) paper banane mein mera koi haath nahin hai :p............and just check my my last few posts and you won't need to welcome me back on forum......only welcome back to FRM thread will do:P
Regards,
Andy :)
