GARP FRM Pass Rate Information
Professionals who use our services are able to pass the FRM exam at a highly successful rate. Our customers often come to us with little knowledge of how to study for their Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) Financial Risk Manager (FRM) certification, yet, they see results after completing the materials:
- 73% of Bionic Turtle users pass the GARP FRM exam (based on the cumulative average of our three most recent surveys).
- Survey respondents were directly asked: “Did you pass the exam?”
- The sample consists of approximately 1,200 individuals surveyed. Note: We cannot control any bias from self-reporting.
GARP FRM average pass rate
This is the first update to the FRM program pass rate chart since March 2020 when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. This new chart adds pass rates for 2020 (but October replaces the May slot) and May 2021. Both recent pass rates were slightly above their respective long-term averages.
Unlike the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) exam that had their P1 pass rate plunge to 25%, due to deferral cohorts, we observe no effects to the FRM based on the pandemic’s exogenous shock. In regard to May 2021, please note the following:
- The Part 1 (P1) pass rate was 47%. This is near (i.e., only 0.32 standard deviations above) its long-term average.
Specifically, μ(P1) = 45.8% with σ(P1) = 3.7% - The Part 2 (P2) pass rate was 59%. This is near (i.e., only 0.61 standard deviations above) its long-term average.
Specifically, μ(P2) = 56.9% with σ(P2) = 3.4%.
