Putting FRM pt 1 for IBD resume - Worth it?
I'm a sophomore econ major, and have passed FRM part 1 exam last summer. As FRM contents(risks, fianancial crisis, quantitative methods, derivatives etc) are not too relevant to IBD , I was wondering if I should put it on my resume as "FRM part 1 exam passed" or not at all. What are your...
Some questions regarding the FRM certification (viability of old study material)
I am almost 100% certain of sitting for the FRM Part 1 test this coming November.

How Can I Pass the FRM Part 2 exam?
Two weeks ago, I was worried. I was struggling to understand many of the concepts for the Part 2 FRM exam and neither Schweser nor The Bionic Turtle were helping. Schweser's FRM materials, in my opinion, are not up to the standards of their CFA materials. For example, instead of prerecorded videos...

Difficulty of FRM versus CFA®
Has anyone taken the FRM? I was curious as to how it matches up difficulty wise to the CFA® . I know it is much more quant based but haven't heard much detail on this. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
