2024 FRM Exam Dates: Important Deadlines You Need To Know

∙

Whether you are new to FRM exams, or a seasoned Part 2 candidate, here’s a handy summary of all the key FRM exam dates you need to know, as your FRM registration date affects the exam fees you pay.

And a nice frequently asked questions (FAQ) section too, to answer any FRM registration questions you may have.

Let’s dive in 🙂


What are the recent changes to FRM exam dates?

frm exam dates

In March 2022, GARP updated its Part 1 offering to 3x a year with May, August (instead of July) and November.

However, as of 1 Dec 2022, we noticed that FRM exams are now held 3x a year for Part 1 and Part 2 candidates in May, August and November. This seems to be a new development by GARP, as previously it’s only held thrice a year for Part 1 candidates.

So here’s a reminder of the upcoming 2024 exam cycles:

  • May 2024: registration opened on 1 Dec 2023.
  • August 2024: registration opens on 1 Mar 2024.
  • Nov 2024: registration opens on 1 May 2024.

To do this, you need to log into your GARP account, and click the Exam Setup button under “My Programs” to choose your test center.

Note that Part 1 candidates can only defer once to the next 2 available exam windows, whilst Part 2 candidates can only defer once to the next available exam window.

How can I get a refund?

Candidates have 48 hours after their exam registration to submit a refund request. All refund requests must be received via email to memberservices@garp.com.

Other than that, GARP does not provide refunds for either the exam enrollment or exam registration fee under typical circumstances.

  7. I am planning to take P1 exam FRM on 2023, can I start study using 2022 syllabus? or better wait until the syllabus updated?

    Reply
    • Hi Falzami, it’s best to use 2023’s syllabus when it is published, which should be available when 2023 registration opens (expected in Dec 2022). For now, if you prefer to start studying earlier, you can still use 2022 curriculum for light studies to get a gist of what it is all about, but use the 2023’s curriculum as your definitive source for sure.

      Reply
      • I think waiting for 2023 books is not a good idea when the syllabus change is minimal..I believe 2 to 3 chapters have been added but remaining syllabus and topics are the same..go ahead with 2022 material…

  8. Hello, My exam location is in the US and I already have registered for the FRM Level 1 Exam for this November, but I am finding it difficult for setting up for the exam. After I open my GARP account and go on to the finish setup option, and after entering all the needed information, the account takes me to a different site named PSI ONLINE, where it shows me the option SCHEDULE, but even though I click on the option, I am not able to register for my exam. Am I the only one who is struggling with this?

    I would highly appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you and have a great rest of the day.

  12. Hi,
    I had attempted and passed FRM part 1 exam back in jul ‘21. I want to give the part 2 exam in may ‘22 but i noticed that my FRM membership has a validity of only one year and will expire in march ‘22.
    So would i have to repay the membership/registration fee again?

  13. Hi, how can i know the test center location near my country before I register? I know there is not one in Chile, but there is one in Peru by GARP page, but in the page of the provider there is no info about where it is or even if there is one in Peru

    Thanks

    Reply
    • You’re right – Peru does seem unavailable with PSI at the moment. This may be Covid-related since Peru was one of the postponed locations in the past. I’d check with GARP (memberservices@garp.com).

  14. Hi i have given my FRM part 1 exam this month on 10th want to know when i can register for part 2 for next year ????

    Reply
  15. I appeared for the FRM Part I exam in May’17 and passed in July’17. I am now planning to take my Part 2 exam in Dec’21, for which I am assuming the result won’t be available before Feb’22.

    Thus, if I pass it will cross Dec 31st of the fourth year of passing the FRM part 1 exam.

    Request advice whether it will be valid or will I not be eligible for FRM certification even I pass the Part 2 exam scheduled in Dec’21.

      • Hi,

  17. Hi,
    So are the exam locations in the United Stated out for the November/December FRM part 1 and part2 yet? I can’t find any locations available around Los Angeles through the system but was able to see exam locations that are in states other than California. I’m so worried that I can’t find a location to take the exam and the institution is not replying my messages and emails.

    Reply
    • It’s likely because of Covid. According to Pearson Vue:

      Why can’t I find appointment availability?

      We are opening testing availability up as quickly as possible in a manner that’s safe for our candidates and employees…Appointment availability continues to change due to COVID-19, so be sure to check back regularly to see if and when new time slots become available.

  18. Hello.
    Would anyone know the dates for the FRM Part 1 exam within the 8-21 May window? My computer based exam was scheduled for today however the link never worked and the test center staff confirmed that my exam will be rescheduled. I have forgotten the possible dates and it is stressful not knowing when the exam could possibly be. Wouldn’t want it to spring up on me.

  19. Hii i want to defer my part 1 exam now can i do this now please guide as the scenario is getting worst will there be any alternative ?

    Reply
    • Hi Aman, unfortunately GARP isn’t clear about this upfront.

      If a candidate has COVID-19, it is best to first email them at memberservices@garp.com, with proof of that. And follow up right away with a phone call since it’s so close to the exam now. My guess would be that it is assessed individually on a case-by-case basis.

  20. After the completion of part 2 exam and successfully surpass the threshold of the exam, when are we gonna get our certificate?

    Reply
    • Hi Fergy, once you passed FRM Part 2, you still need to meet the 2 years of relevant full time work experience requirements.

      Assuming you meet the work experience requirement and submitted that to GARP, you should receive your FRM certificate within 1 month from the date of approval of your work experience.

      Hope this helps!
