How this deck compares

Q-bank subscriptions win on question volume. UniPrep wins when you want an ownable Anki file plus one free timed diagnostic — $29 once, then daily spaced repetition on VaR/ES/Greeks gaps the mock surfaces.

FRM Part 1 study guide

What is inside

444 cards across Part 1: risk governance, CAPM and regression diagnostics, futures/forwards/swaps/options mechanics, VaR and Expected Shortfall methods, credit risk metrics, operational risk frameworks, and fixed-income valuation. Greeks and volatility surfaces appear in valuation-and-risk-models rows.

Plan with the free FRM mock

**Phase 1 (6 weeks out):** 25 cards/day from quant and markets. **Phase 2:** Free 50-question mock — remap daily reviews to valuation models and credit if those topics score low. **Final month:** No new cards; ES and VaR calculation prompts daily.

Pitfalls this deck targets

Candidates swap parametric vs historical VaR, mis-state delta-gamma approximations, and confuse settlement conventions on derivatives. Cards flag those calculation boundaries.
