Crazy that so many people who aren’t that far along with the CFA are taking the FRM. Its not hard, but it certainly a lot tougher task than CFA L2.
I took it last year and failed…..on about 2 weeks of studying. Finishing up the CFA, dealing with a major hurricane during the peak of study season, and the credit crisis really decreased my motivation…..
I decided to go w/ the FRM Handbook this year………..just received it today………the pictures on the net are deceiving………this book is huge……and in paperback……..don’t know how it is going to last 191 days….
May go pick up the Premium solution from Schweser since the massive changes they made to the program make last year’s book a bit dated……..still I don’t know if I want to spend the time and the money to digest all that material for a barely recognizable credential related to a rapidly dying industry….
