I'm signed up for it. Though primarily just because I like the idea of getting a better grip on quant (English Major).

I'm using schweser.

how demanding is the quant compared to CFA L 1 & 2?

FRM is definitely worth taking. The learn material is not that overlapping that of CFA. You learn a lot of things about heding and details over the popular credit models as well. Details of BASEL accord is another highlight.

I did that last year where ppl still only takes one exam instead of two. That time I used more than three months intensively to go through the material. Schweser books are not as good as those for CFA in the sense of preparing for the exams. You can use that for good reference book in your daily jobs however.

The exam in the end turned out to be difficult. As everybody feeled it difficult, pass rate was still not that low.
