Hi, I think the best strategy for passing the FRM Level 1 Exam is to combine Schweser Notes and Bionic Turtle questions. Both of these study guides have been helpful to me in clearing level 1 of FRM certification. I discovered Schweser’s notes to be more organized and test-focused while I studied for my exam. The notes by Schweser are really brief and to the point. At the end of each chapter, there are summaries that are useful for recaps.
The bionic turtle delves far too deeply, which is beneficial for knowledge and understanding. They give detailed notes, Excel sheets, quizzes, and educational videos that are all very beneficial. BT is less expensive than Schweser in terms of price. These books are extra sources of information.
I recommend you all use these two resources since they will be extremely helpful in helping you pass your FRM Level 1 exam.

However, I’ll stick to your question. The following are some benefits of the Schweser materials:
Pro Tip: Get sufficient practice with your calculator. It is your best buddy and will be necessary to make sure you respond to all of the questions within the allotted time.
See lessI successfully completed both FRM levels while juggling a number of concurrent extra Job related tasks. I used a combination of Schweser, and Bionic Turtle to prepare for the exams. So, in essence you can use both the books if you have sufficient time.

Hello Everyone. Although the response will differ from person to person, this is a very perceptive question. Schweser worked for me (I personally liked it alot). I found Kaplan Schweser to be more than adequate for passing the examinations for both the CFA (which I passed in 2015) and the FRM (which I passed in 2013). Do complete the practice test that comes with the related books. You can also make advantage of BT to practice more questions and additional practice.

Dear students, you should keep one thing in mind: even after using BT or Schweser you still need outside assistance, such as coaching, if you want to pass your FRM Part 1. With the aid of Schweser and Quintedge, I successfully completed my FRM Part 1. My concepts weren’t properly clarified when I initially started studying Schweser, which created a lot of confusion. However, after receiving tutoring from Quintedge, my concepts began to clear.
It’s not that I didn’t get help from Schweser; rather, I got assistance from both Schweser and Quintedge because they were both my guiding stars and helped me pass my FRM.
I hope this is helpful to you!

Personally, I believe Schweser is the most efficient and precise source of learning. I’m writing this to share my experience. I knew going into my FRM exam preparation that I would need to put in at least 300 hours of study —more than two hours every day—to pass the test. I did spare a few hours a day at first for about a week, but I was unable to keep up the pace. Ultimately, my preparation was greatly aided by the Schweser materials. I found that the examples in the book were really helpful in helping me comprehend the ideas. So if you are short on time, go for Schweser anyday!

Hey guys, I believe there isn’t a better source of study material than Schweser. When compared to what Schweser offers, BT is nothing.
The questions are of the exam level difficulty, and the content is by far better. Scheweser is more methodical and exam-focused. It gives each topic the proper amount of emphasis—neither more nor less. When it comes to some topics, BT delves far too deeply, which is beneficial for understanding and knowledge but less so for exam preparation.
Decide accordingly, based on what is most convenient for you. You can also use the resources offered by GARP if you have the time and wish to carefully study all the subjects. These books are excellent as well. However, Schweser excels in terms of examination.
I hope this clarifies your query!!

Dear Readers, Schweser and Bionic Turtle were both used by me in my FRM level 1 preparation. In my opinion, Bionic Turtle’s study materials and video lectures are better than Schweser when it comes to instilling information since they help you comprehend and remember difficult exam concepts so that you can use them as a qualified FRM.
The explanations in the video lectures and the examples used in the textbook are also very simple to understand. They do a great job of deconstructing practice problems, delving into ideas like asset management and portfolio management, and then demonstrating how to solve them.
Their test bank is the best and above the level of exam difficulty. It contains over 4000 practice questions, and the questions in this test bank are constantly updated.
I hope this will help you!

This question cannot be answered with absolute certainty. Even if someone takes the side of one among the two then also it will not make it better. Some claim that Schweser emphasizes each topic exactly to-the-point, giving students just enough knowledge without overloading them with irrelevant details. Others contend that Bionic Turtle delves too deeply into some subjects, which can be helpful for people trying to comprehend ideas at a deeper level.
It ultimately depends on your preferences and the amount of time you have to dedicate to studying. Some people might favour Schweser’s more exam-focused approach, while others would favour Bionic turtle’s deeper approach. As a result, there is no one best option when deciding between these two study guides. This is totally upon the perception of a student and will depend upon his mindset with which one studies for FRM.

There is no clear answer to the question of which is better for FRM Part 1: Schweser or Bionic turtle. Some argue that Schweser puts the right amount of emphasis on every topic, providing just enough information without overwhelming students with unnecessary details. Others claim that Bionic turtle goes too deep into certain topics, which can be useful for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of certain concepts. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and how much time you have to devote to studying. Some people may prefer the more exam-oriented approach of Schweser, while others may gravitate towards the more in-depth nature of Bionic turtle. Therefore, there is no one right answer when it comes to choosing between these two study materials.
