The FRM exam is a financial risk manager exam, and as it is an international exam, the test paper for the FRM exam is in full English. Many candidates panic when they hear that it is a full English exam, but in fact, the full English exam may not be as difficult as you imagine. Let's take a look at how to prepare for the full English FRM exam together!
1. The FRM exam papers are all in English
Although applying for the FRM exam does not require candidates to have a high degree or related major, in order to pass the FRM exam, candidates need to have at least three basic skills: English, finance, and mathematics. Among these three foundations. Some students will definitely feel strange why finance is not placed first, as the FRM exam is clearly a financial certificate exam. That's because the FRM exam is a full English exam, and if candidates want to pass the exam, they must first understand the test paper. If they can't even read the test paper smoothly, let alone take the exam.FRM全英文備考攻略2. English proficiency level 4 is sufficient
Although the FRM is a full English exam, the requirements for candidates' English proficiency are not particularly high. Generally, candidates who have passed CET4 can browse the test papers smoothly.
The reason for this requirement is that the FRM exam is, after all, a financial certificate exam and not aimed at the candidate's English proficiency, so candidates do not need to be intimidated by the full English test paper. In the FRM exam, English is only used as a language tool.
Some candidates still have questions: Will English major candidates have an advantage over regular candidates?
Actually, there are still significant differences between the English in the FRM exam and the English we learned in college:
1. Financial Vocabulary
The FRM exam involves a large number of financial professional vocabulary, which is highly specialized and cannot be accessed in ordinary contexts, and generally does not appear in university classrooms. Therefore, even students with a foundation in English may feel unfamiliar with these financial vocabulary without a foundation in finance.
2. Multi semantic
On the contrary, when reviewing FRM, one also needs to undergo a mindset shift. Because many common words in the financial context actually have many other meanings, such as options, which usually means "choice", but in the financial context, it means "option". If you don't understand the financial meaning of these words, any more English vocabulary reserves will become a burden and increase the difficulty. Therefore, in preparing for the exam, students should learn to understand the meaning of words in context.
