    Lots and lots and lots of study :D In all seriousness, if you are coming from the US exam system, the questions are of a different format; there are fewer questions that may span less breadth of material but that require a somewhat more holistic knowledge of how different elements work together as opposed to understanding disparate elements well on their own.

    thanks for reply

    Do you think that some extra readings would be helpful? If so, any suggestion of related materials? Thanks

    Personally I think the required reading are enough. and they are being examined. I passed the April 12 exam. But don't think studying lots will help with this specified exam. The questions asked are quite generic and most people can have a decent attempt.

    We each have our own methods; I know that if I didn't spend the many hours of study that I did, I would not have passed the April 12 exam.

    Re additional material, try Googling and downloading "Managing Economic Capital: Beyond Basel ll", a paper by KPMG. I found it useful and interesting. Read it after you've been through the course. Best of luck.

    [ActEd] try here

    In our Study Guide we suggest:

    Integrated Risk Management: Techniques and Strategies for Reducing Risk – Neil A. Doherty
    ISBN 978-0071358613

    Risk Management – Crouhy, Galai and Mark
    ISBN 978-0071357319
    (Note: the regulatory information in this edition is out-of-date. The text is being updated and a new edition will be published in 2012)

    The Essentials of Risk Management – Crouhy, Galai and Mark
    ISBN 978-0071429665

    Simple Tools and Techniques for Enterprise Risk Management – Robert J Chapman.
    Wiley, 2006. ISBN: 0-470-01466-0

    Quantitative Risk Management: Concepts, Techniques and Tools – McNeil, Frey & Embrechts.
    Princeton University Press, 2005. ISBN: 0-691-12255-5

    The latter two texts were previously (but no longer) required reading for Subject ST9.

    You could also try the UK Corporate Governance Code, HM Treasury's Enterprise Risk Management Guide,....

    Sorry, you did ask!
