Today's Daily Questions

David writes totally fresh, totally original practice questions every week: a fresh set of three questions on Mon and Wed = 6 new practice questions per week. A few hungry customers like to follow along, so we post them here.

Paid members please note: you do not need to collect practice questions one at a time! After a chapter (or section of related chapters) is finished, Nicole collects them into a single PDF file and uploads to the Study Planner. Most paid members will want to go straight to the study planner (unless you want to discuss/etc in the forum). Thank you!

Hello Hopefully I am posting at the right thread. I just wanted to ask when will will the Part I new LOSes be added? There are not that many, probably less than 10 in number spread across 3 books. Sometimes it gets too confusing in the forum as to where things get added. So I asked here.
gsarm1987 wrote on Kabelo Mosarwe's profile.
practice daily. thats how you pass part 1. good luck
Where can I find the Study Planner?
Think exam went OK! Did my best to study all the topics, loved the many exercises offered by BT!
We'll see what happens ;) best case I'm an FRM in November, worst case I get to study everything again and become even better at my job :D
