The November FRM window is about 60 days out — Part I runs November 14-20, Part II runs November 21-25. And one date matters more than the exam itself: September 30 is the standard registration deadline. Miss it and the late fee is the cheap part.
If you are registered (or about to be), here is how 60 days converts into a pass.
Days 1-5: The Diagnostic
Sit a full mock for your part before touching the books seriously. Part I: 100 questions across Foundations of Risk, Quant, Markets, and Valuation. Part II: 80 questions across Market, Credit, Operational, Liquidity, Investment Risk, and Current Issues.
The mock tells you where your 60 days should go. Tag every wrong answer by topic — your study plan is now data, not guesswork.
Days 6-35: Weighted Topic Attack
Part I priorities (by weight): Valuation & Risk Models and Financial Markets & Products carry ~60% of the exam between them. Quant stays heavy on the basics — distributions, hypothesis testing, regression, VaR.
Part II priorities: Market, Credit, and Operational Risk are ~20% each — 60% of your exam in three topics. These get double sessions.
Rules for both parts:
- High-weight, big-gap topics first — always
- Finish every topic with 20-30 practice questions, same day. Reading alone does not build exam speed
- Keep the error log running: topic, why you missed it, the fix. Patterns will emerge by Day 25
Days 36-50: Volume Phase
FRM rewards question volume. Target 50+ mixed questions daily in timed blocks. The exam tests application under time pressure — so practice must replicate it.
Days 51-53: Mock Two
Same conditions as the diagnostic. Your delta between the two mocks is your honest readiness signal. New weak spots get one focused session each.
Days 54-59: Consolidation
- Current Issues and high-level concepts for Part II — easy marks candidates skip
- Formula sheet built from your error log, not the whole curriculum
- Ethics of risk governance and foundational concepts for Part I
- No new material. Nothing you have not already seen
Day 60: Rest
Risk management includes managing your own fatigue. Sleep before a 4-hour exam is a strategy, not a luxury.
The Deadline Inside the Deadline
Registering before September 30 and studying like you have 90 days is how candidates fail a 60-day window. The countdown is real — start today with a diagnostic mock: https://financecertificationprep.in
