Level II (June 2012) and FRM (November 2011) starting, material, currently, 2011

invic

Hey Guys

I'm currently enrolled for Level II in June 2012 and I'm considering the FRM. I have a few questions:

1. Is it too late to start studying for the 1st FRM exam in November?
2. How does the volume of work for the 1st FRM exam compare to Level I CFA?
3. Does the 1st FRM Exam overlap with Level 1 CFA Material?
4. Will I find it hard to balance doing the FRM study and starting the CFA Level 2 material? Will I jeopadise my Level II result by studying for the FRM instead of starting preparations for Level 2 earlier?

Thanks

I should mention that when I wrote FRM1 in Nov 2010, only 39% of us passed... meaning that the "average" candidate failed.

So if you're planning to write FRM1 in November, you should probably start studying fairly immediately.

Hi thanks for putting this. Actually I should have put the question on forum before doin anything. I registered for level 3 June and frm November. Let's see what others have to say. Haven't started studying for any of the exams yet.

Hrmm! What other ways have ppl here done these two designations

yeah thats what i mean, you can start immediately after L2 and then try to clear it. Atleast that is what i plan to do.

I am just afraid that in order to do too many things at one go i might end up screwing both.

Anyways depends person to person, you can do it if you feel you can do it :-)

I might as well do them now then? Unless i start studying for frm1 and 2 right after taking level 2 in early june
