PREP TIPS: FRM or PRM
It does not matter what course you opt for but go through these tips to help you out with both the exams:
• Both the exams allow the use of calculators; so while preparing use only those calculators to get a hand set grip on them.
• Make use of practice papers and worksheets available on the net.
• Go through the previous question papers but do not cling onto them because your exam may contain similar questions not the SAME!
• Make sure that while writing the practice papers you time yourself so that you finish well in time on the examination date.
• Give quality time when you are studying , rather than quantity. You may sit in front of the book for 10 hours and not absorb anything or you may sit for 3 hours and gain more than you gained the whole week .
• Do not forget to make notes. I know that you will remember that point but just for a cross check jot it down.
• The formulas and equations can be written in pieces of papers and put in different pockets , so that each time you feel your pockets to find the magic money you get an equation that will help you get there.
• Lastly, don’t stress or panic. It’s an exam you are giving not fighting the world war. So study hard and well. Give it your best!
