Of course, they should be the best materials to prepare for the exam. + GAPR Books: these are the official materials from GARP - who organizes the exam. In general, this book is good if you have plenty of time and want to understand the big picture. I am not sure whether any newer versions are available. After reading about 1/3 of this book, I found out the misalignment and switched to the GARP materials. The problem of the book I used is that it was published in 2011, hence several parts of it were out of date and weren't connected with the requirements of the 2017 exam. As GARP requires a huge amount of information from multiple areas, sometimes I was overwhelmed by a sea of knowledge. + FRM Handbook: this book is good at connecting required knowledge to a smooth flow so that I can develop a big picture understanding. So I didn't purchase any other books but used his materials only: Materials: a friend was so nice to lend me his materials after completing his level 1 exam.

Hence, please feel free to share it or use it as a reference plan if you are planning to take the FRM level 1 exam: Below is my plan, and the reason for me to write it down is just my thought of someone might find it helpful. Knowing that I only had about 150 hours to prepare for the exam (a survey of GARP showed that on average a candidate needs about 240 hours to study in order to pass the level 1 exam), I developed an efficient plan that helped me to cover key topics of the exam while still have time to do some mock tests. The long working days didn't allow me to stay up late to study, so I didn't have any time to study during these days.įortunately, from the beginning of September, my baby started to sleep from 9 p.m., so I worked part-time, studied part-time, spent some hours with her every day, and tried to study from 10 p.m. to 6 p.m., came back home to cook and clean until 8 p.m., and then tried to comfort my baby until 11 p.m. So during the summer I worked full-time from 8 a.m.

For the first 3 months, she needed a lot of my attention, and she didn't have a good sleeping schedule: she used to stay until 11 p.m. My daughter was born in the middle of June, so at the time I decided to register for the test, I wasn't sure that I would have enough time to study. However, I believe I should be proud of myself, as the result was a payoff of all my effort during the last 4 months.

Some of them even passed 2 levels of FRM on the same day. Many of my friends completed all 3 levels of CFA or both 2 levels of FRM.

I know that passing level one of a professional certification is not really a remarkably significant achievement. Two days ago, GARP (Global Association of Risk Professionals) emailed me that I passed the FRM Level 1 exam which I attended last November! Yay!!! I am very very happy with that result.
