Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
The Basel III Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is designed primarily to:
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct. The NSFR equals Available Stable Funding (ASF) divided by Required Stable Funding (RSF) and must be at least 100%. ASF weights liability and equity sources by their stability over a one-year horizon, while RSF weights assets and off-balance-sheet items by their liquidity characteristics. The ratio's purpose is to ensure that long-dated, illiquid assets are funded with reasonably stable liabilities over a one-year period, addressing structural maturity mismatches that the LCR's 30-day horizon does not capture.
Question 2
Medium
A portfolio has 100 daily P&L observations. The five worst daily P&L values (in $ millions) are: -10, -8, -7, -6, and -5. What is the 1-day 95% Expected Shortfall (ES)?
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct. Expected Shortfall at 95% confidence is the conditional average loss in the worst 5% tail. With 100 observations, the 5% tail contains the five worst losses: 10, 8, 7, 6, 5 ($M). ES=(10+8+7+6+5)/5=36/5=7.2. The 1-day 95% ES is $7.2M.
Question 3
Hard
A portfolio's daily P&L is normally distributed with zero mean. The one-day 95% parametric VaR is $1 million. Using z0.95=1.645, z0.99=2.326, and assuming square-root-of-time scaling, the 10-day 99% expected shortfall is closest to:
🎉
Correct Answer: A
Solution
A is correct. First back out the dollar standard deviation from the given 95% VaR: σV=$1,000,000/1.645=$607,903. Next, the daily 99% expected shortfall multiplier under normality is ϕ(z0.99)/(1−0.99)=0.02665/0.01≈2.665, where ϕ is the standard normal density. Then daily 99% ES =2.665×$607,903≈$1,620,000. Scaling to a 10-day horizon by 10≈3.162 gives $1,620,000×3.162≈$5.12 million.

What does the $59 Fellow tier unlock for FRM Part II?

Everything else — questions, solutions, lessons — stays free.
How does FreeFellow compare to Bionic Turtle, AnalystPrep, or Kaplan Schweser on price?
Traditional FRM Part II prep providers charge $200 to $3,500 for a single exam, paid upfront. FreeFellow keeps the question bank, written solutions, and lessons free forever. The optional Fellow tier is $59 per quarter (about 1/20th of what the big providers charge) and adds mock exams, flashcards, analytics, and a study plan. You can pass FRM Part II entirely on the free tier.

What is the FRM Part II pass rate?
The FRM Part II pass rate has historically averaged around 55-60%, based on GARP-published statistics. Part II candidates have already passed Part I, so the population is more selective and the pass rate runs higher than Part I.
What is the format of FRM Part II?
FRM Part II is a 4-hour, 80-question multiple-choice exam covering Market Risk, Credit Risk, Operational Risk and Resilience, Liquidity and Treasury Risk, Risk and Investment Management, and Current Issues in Financial Markets. It is offered three times per year (May, August, November) and must be passed within four years of passing Part I.
How many parts is the FRM exam?
The FRM (Financial Risk Manager) certification consists of two parts: Part I and Part II. Both are administered by GARP (Global Association of Risk Professionals). Candidates must pass both parts within four years and complete two years of qualifying risk-related work experience to earn the FRM designation.
What is FreeFellow's relationship with GARP?
FreeFellow is not affiliated with, endorsed by, promoted by, reviewed by, or warranted by GARP. FreeFellow questions and lessons supplement the official GARP curriculum but are not a replacement for it. Candidates should consult GARP-published reading lists for the authoritative source material.
