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!

Older forums are located (eventually transferred) to the location below. These forums are often LESS RELEVANT to current FRM candidates. However, due to the relative continuity of the FRM's underlying structure--despite its continuous churn--they continue to offer some relevance.

Hi, could you please add me to the whats app group +1-818-610-9175. Thanks!
Hi, I don't know how to do a new post. But I'm having problem with the Pt.2 Market Risk Excel sheets. I'm having problem to understand the excel sheet. And While I'm trying to understnad the error measurement for VaR with Confidence interval, I can't find the detailed excel sheet for the exam we used in the video. Can anyone kindly provide some insight?
I am so grateful to David and the Bionic Turtle Team. I passed all two levels of the FRM on first attempt. I could never have done it without Bionic Turtle considering i work full time and was writing CFA in June and FRM in November, 2019. Am glad i got the CFA charter and am confident am getting the FRM in March 2020.
