How the FRM exam is structured
The FRM is a two-part, multiple-choice exam. Part 1 has 100 questions covering the foundations of risk management, quantitative analysis, financial markets and products, and valuation and risk models. Part 2 has 80 questions covering market, credit, operational and integrated risk management, treasury and liquidity risk, and current financial-market issues. Your Part 2 result is only graded once you have passed Part 1.
Final-weeks prep plan
- Drill practice questions under timed conditions: the FRM rewards accuracy at speed across a wide syllabus.
- Prioritise the higher-weighted topics in each part rather than trying to master everything equally.
- Sit at least one full timed mock per part, then review every miss.
- Schedule your exam appointment before the 24 October deadline to secure your preferred date and centre.
