...2008 FRM® Examination Study Guide Topic Outline, Readings, Test Weightings The Study Guide sets forth primary topics and subtopics under the five risk‐related disciplines covered in the FRM exam. The topics were selected by the FRM Committee as topics that risk managers who work in practice today have to master. The topics are reviewed yearly to ensure the FRM exam is kept timely and relevant. FRM Examination Approach The FRM exam is a practice‐oriented examination. Its questions are derived from a combination of theory, as set forth in the readings, and “real‐world” work experience. Candidates are expected to understand risk management concepts and approaches and how they would apply to a risk manager’s day‐to‐day activities. The FRM examination is also a comprehensive examination, testing a risk professional on a number of risk management concepts and approaches. It is very rare that a risk manager will be faced with an issue that can immediately be slotted into one category. In the real world, a risk manager must be able to identify any number of risk‐related issues and be able to deal with them effectively. Readings Questions for the FRM examination are derived from the readings listed under each topic outline. These readings were selected by the FRM Committee to assist candidates in their review of the subjects covered by the exam. It is strongly suggested that candidates review these readings in depth prior to sitting for the exam...
