Many zero-based candidates will consider it before the exam. How is the employment development after applying for FRM? What are the difficulties in the FRM exam and can you pass it smoothly? Indeed, as a top certificate in the field of risk management, the difficulty of FRM test can be imagined, and it is also English, which is a big difficulty for domestic candidates. However, zero-based candidates are not "inferior", and many zero-based FRM candidates have passed the FRM exam in a short time.
The first step of preparing for the exam: contact with financial knowledge
For zero-based FRM candidates, they should read some financial-related books and materials before the exam. If they have the ability, they can directly watch English websites and course videos to establish their own financial thinking. FRM examination is different from domestic examination, which mainly examines the application of knowledge in real life. Therefore, just relying on rote memorization can't pass the exam, because it is closely combined with reality. Candidates can watch more hot current events and try to analyze these problems with financial thinking.
Step 2: Make a detailed preparation plan.
FRM is called an exam that self-study can't pass. For zero-based candidates, the first thing to do is to prepare for the exam and leave enough review time to pass the exam smoothly.
The suggestion of GARP Association is to pass the exam once every 15 weeks, but candidates need to make adjustments according to their own actual situation to find out the most suitable preparation plan for themselves.
Many candidates divide their preparation into four stages:
The first stage, read-through stage: read through the examination materials in combination with the examination syllabus, and form a basic impression in your mind: what is the content of this book, what are the key points and what are the weak items.
The second stage, the key learning stage: this time is prime time, and no time can be wasted. During this period, we must take down all the key contents determined in the first stage and not relax at all. We can remember the key points by combining online video learning.
The third stage, the practice stage: At this stage, you can do more questions in the Gao Dun question bank to see what you have mastered and what needs more practice, and you can also see what others have done wrong. At this stage, you should pay more attention to the relevant online examination information, break it one by one, and grasp the key points and difficulties. The third stage, for every candidate, may be a bitter stage and a stage that is often hit. But everyone should remember one thing: it is difficult to become an adult without suffering. And you can simply draw a conclusion that the more you attack your big exercise, the more helpful you will be.
The fourth stage, the general review stage: this stage usually begins two weeks before the exam (if time is tight). There should also be a total review time of 1 week), which is the fill-in-the-blank stage.
Step 3: How to use the preparation materials.
The textbook of FRM is very thick, and many candidates will browse the manual and then focus on taking notes. Of course, this does not mean that the manual is not important. It explains the concept very clearly. When you don't understand, you will feel suddenly enlightened.
In the process of doing the problem, we should combine the teaching materials, and we must review the knowledge points that we don't understand and are not familiar with in time.
In addition, for zero-based candidates, it is recommended to take a look at online courses. Teachers of online courses can clearly list the key points for you, clear your mind and help candidates review efficiently.
Although it is difficult to learn FRM, it is not difficult to pass the FRM exam. As long as you are willing to study hard and gain knowledge points, as the saying goes, "Nothing is difficult in the world, if you put your mind to it", winning FRM is not a problem. With the idea of learning new knowledge and improving your ability, don't focus on exams. After all, passing the exam is not the end, but another new starting point. In the follow-up employment, you also need to constantly recharge your batteries to study, in order to remain competitive and have better room for career advancement.
