Feb 28, 2017  Hithere! Did you purchase the ebooks/physical books when you sign up for FRM part 1? Did you buy any bionic turtle or schweser notes? I'm looking to sign up level 1 and from my research the GARP books are not sufficient.

I would say the actual exam material is easier than everything you’ve practiced but the test environment creates a lot of anxienty which changes your perception i think EOCs, mocks and are good practice. I heard konvexity has good material I made a mistake by doing finquiz mock exams.

They are pretty difficult and there are many errors, so i ended up spending a lot of time at the end worrying about minutia that cfai would probably never test on and if they did its not worth spending 1-2 hours gaining a deep understanding on a question you have a 33% chance of guessing correctly as you will be better off allocating your time to “low hanging fruit”.

Or were the concepts actually straightforward and clean? You would’ve scored very well if it were a mock?
