We require a minimum of 10 paid candidates to add a site. Any exam site that does not maintain 10 or more paid registrants by the end of standard registration will be closed and candidates will have to travel to a different site. The addresses and directions of all confirmed exam sites will be added later in the year.

Hi,
This is SuryaSanthosh and my GARP ID number is: 75273. This is to enquire the details of the exam sites of the FRM 2008. I wanted to know if there is any chance for Hyderabad in India to get qualified as an exam site.

As some one who passed the exam last year a piece of advise...
Indians generally take education very seriously but this is taking it a bit far. From what I saw in the exam last year most of the questions were set by industry participants and tested your functional knowledge . I had prepared for about a month yet could attempt most of the questions. Even this year GARP have e mailed the people who had passed the exam in previous years and are working in the industry and asked for questions based on actual experiences. From what I saw last year a bulk of the questions are set this way and the rest are pretty straight forward for which you do not need class room coaching .
I know quite a few people who spent upwards of 400 hours on preparation and yet failed as they were unable to attempt the questions that were not theoretical but based on market experience.
Anyways the FRM in any case is not that big a deal for you to spend months on it,it is just a designation to be acquired alongside work .Don't make it the central point of your life for the next 5-6 months .
@rajat Classes may help for people who donot have Financial workex-background,as they are completly unaware of style of exam,its contents n approach to attempt it..that way i guess it sometimes becomes important to stay in that run..but everything boils down to our own understanding and preps.. Rajat it would be a great idea if u could mention the prospects of getting job if one clear each of the following or with combinations-if u could give an insight to it..as lke im from engineering background apart from these papers i hardly know where i can work/wat role i like to work on..so i feel soemtimes handicapped that where i am heading at..Therefore i request if u could tell me/us how : 1).. CFA L1 CFA L2 .....******Help can get a JOB coupled with Engineering******* 2)..CFA L1+L2------>?? 3)..L1+ FRM ..(considering if one gives L1 in june and he ahs time for L2 next year ..in between he can give FRM and get a job ..:)..that way.. 4)alos plz let me know how MBA can be combo with L1..shuld it be after competion of L2 to do MBA fmr top indian..or after L1 also it can be worth..to get summers and final palcemnets in industry we apply..
5)..Lastly can CFA L1,L2 help us recognised to Consulting firms if we put it in our resumes..
These are random queries i liked to ask n m sure like me and ur reply can come big handy to ppl like me..
Thanks rajat..
Like to know did u gave ur L3 this june..??how was it..
Thanking You, Abhishek..
Phew !!! Coaching classes for FRM!!

hi all...im new to the forum n i hv a few queries.... What is the ideal time frame one must take to prepare for the frm test? Is it advisable for someone planning to pursue an MBA to first do tht n then prepare for frm n if thts the case, why so? I have completed BCom n m working with a Financial services firm rite now... i guess i hv very little time for frm 08 so can i use the same material tht is available now to prepare for frm 09 or is there a major change in the material?
I am preparing for FRM Nov 2008. I am planning to attend coaching institute. Can someone give me review for coaching institutes on FRM in Mumbai? Which is better Pristine Careers, IQFI, ACE3 levels?
It feels nice to come back to PagalGuy after a long absence of over a year .... I am taking up FRM this year ... have been readin up on the discussion here. Though i registered in April, I havent done much yet ... jus brushed up HULL a bit and now i feel its time i really start.
I need some help from the experts here ... though i agree dat i ll be losing hours and hours on joining classes but do they at least cover the important aspects of the syllabus? Has anyone here or their friends attended any of these classes last year? Needed feedback on IQFI ... so will be glad if anyone advises
Secondly, spoke to laxmi xerox last week, I believe this years schweser is not yet here .. and he has been keepin this on hold for quite some time now .. Are there any alternatives to this?
Have already mailed u regarding this ... pls get in touch

Hi,
I can help you to get the Schweser material in Bangalore. If you want let me know. Would be little costly as compared to bombay. And Material is a bit different from last year. You can get the details from their website.
In schewzer material i have seen that they suggest people to start reading from first week of august... I think you are not too late.... And i hope to clear FRM starting in august with the hectic schedule of MBA... Dude i am waiting for L1 CFA result.... After that only i will apply for FRM.... You will clear man......
