I passed 元 CFA this year and I’m thinking of taking the FRM Part 1 Exam in May 2018. Hey guys, I’m aware that what I’ll be asking might not be the appropriate for this thread but since it’s been bumped to the top, I’ll ask anyway. Once I get that settled, I can prepare for the paper with a clearer frame of mind. There is a huge ocean ahead of me, I just need to know where to focus. Would really, really appreciate some pointers. I am prepared to put in 300+ hours (roughly two hours a day from July 1 till Nov 18, possibly with more hours on weekends). Generally, I just need some idea on the scope of what I should be focusing on to comfortably ace the paper. How important is it to buy the practice questions/mock exams as well? Is it enough to do the questions/examples presented within the notes? Is it OK to do recent past year practice/mock questions (from 2015 + 2016)? Would it honestly be enough, if say I could get the Schweser notes as my primary source, and refer to the GARP official notes as my secondary source? I also have some books on derivatives/options and statistics from my actuarial science degree in university that I could use (though they’re not really part of the recommended reading material). The three most common I see are: GARP official notes, Schweser notes, and Bionic Turtle notes.

I have NOT as yet got my study materials…I have a deadline set for myself to get something by July 1 (the date I want to start my preparation). Hi guys, I’ve signed up for FRM Part 1 in Nov 2017.
