class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Astha Sharma<\/strong>,<strong> FRM<\/strong> is a <strong>Senior Risk Analyst at Societe General and Credit Suisse<\/strong>, with experience across financial services and startups. A BCom (Hons.) graduate from the University of Delhi, she began thinking about professional finance credentials early and built her career with a clear focus on risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her journey into risk analysis was not cushioned by expensive coaching or premium resources. Instead, it was shaped by discipline, curiosity and a deliberate choice to master concepts deeply rather than chase shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_She_Chose_the_FRM_Path\"><\/span><strong>Why She Chose the FRM Path<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Astha began exploring professional qualifications when she was just 18 or 19. While many candidates gravitate toward designations that require being in the final year of university, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garp.org\/frm\">FRM designation<\/a> stood out for its accessibility and rigor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt allowed me to begin at any stage,\u201d she explains. \u201cThat flexibility mattered to me early on but what truly convinced me was the depth and reputation of the curriculum. I wanted a strong foundation in financial risk from the very beginning of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond credentials, the FRM appealed to her for what it promised intellectually: a way of thinking about markets, institutions and systemic consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_She_Found_AnalystPrep\"><\/span><strong>How She Found AnalystPrep<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With limited access to expensive prep providers, Astha built her study ecosystem through Google, YouTube and <a href=\"https:\/\/app.analystprep.com\/?_gl=1*13aa1fx*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NjczNDk1OTkuQ2owS0NRaUE5dDNLQmhDUUFSSXNBSk9jUjd3a0RiLURCaE9PQlR5RUhxTzBab0sxUi1veVkwdHlsSnNORUVQbVk0LXRBakRORmdnb2JFZ2FBcEdwRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MjAzMTE1Njg3LjE3NjE1NzkxNzcuMTg1MDg0NjU0MS4xNzY4MzkwMjc5LjE3NjgzOTAyNzk.\">AnalystPrep\u2019s free resources<\/a>. It was here that she discovered a style of learning that matched her needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe notes and especially the video lectures were incredibly helpful, clear, crisp and to the point,\u201d she says. \u201cI would make my own handwritten notes from the slides in the videos. That helped me understand concepts quickly without having to go through bulky chapters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What began as a practical solution soon became her primary learning engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mock Exam #2 \u2013 Questions 81-90 | FRM Part I Exam Preparation | AnalystPrep\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qbv1XD57Pxo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenges_Before_Starting\"><\/span><strong>Challenges Before Starting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many FRM candidates, Astha\u2019s biggest challenge was uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe official mock doesn\u2019t fully reflect the real difficulty of the exam,\u201d she explains. \u201cI was anxious about how questions would be framed, how conceptual the exam would be and what the real level of difficulty was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of letting that uncertainty derail her, she adopted a disciplined mindset:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She solved questions across multiple banks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>She analysed every mistake<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>She focused on what concept was missing rather than on the score<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t lose confidence when I couldn\u2019t solve a question. I asked myself why I got it wrong and what I needed to revise. That mindset changed everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Her_Study_Strategy_With_AnalystPrep\"><\/span><strong>Her Study Strategy With AnalystPrep<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Astha primarily relied on <a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/frm-part-1-practice-questions\/\">AnalystPrep\u2019s Question Bank<\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@analystprep\">YouTube video lessons<\/a>. She did not impose rigid daily schedules, especially while working in demanding roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor <a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/frm-part-2\/\">Level II<\/a>, my workdays were often over ten hours. I decided not to pressure myself with unrealistic targets. Some days I couldn\u2019t study at all, and instead of burning out, I simply restarted the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her approach was built on three principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consistency over intensity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steady coverage of the syllabus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental calm over self-criticism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/frm-part-1\/\">Level I<\/a>, taken during her student years and the COVID period, allowed for more structured preparation. Level II, however, required resilience. Much of her intensive study happened in the final month, with a sharp focus on revision and high-impact topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Question_Bank\"><\/span><strong>The Question Bank<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there was one resource that defined her preparation, it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/frm-part-2-practice-questions\/\">AnalystPrep QBank<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt the question bank was at par with the actual exam,\u201d she says. \u201cMore importantly, the explanations were excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What made the biggest difference was not just volume, but realism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For complex areas such as performance ratios and risk measures, she found that AnalystPrep\u2019s questions revealed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where traps can be placed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How wording can subtly change meaning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How seemingly minor changes can alter the correct answer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what prepared me for tricky and unexpected questions. Other material sometimes felt too direct. AnalystPrep forced me to think like the exam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Video_Lessons\"><\/span><strong>The Video Lessons<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Astha also relied heavily on <a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/frm-video-lessons\/\">AnalystPrep\u2019s structured video content<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProfessor Forjan\u2019s analogies are amazing,\u201d she notes. \u201cHe teaches everything from scratch, which builds real confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than memorising formulas, she learned how concepts connected, how assumptions worked and why methods behaved the way they did. This conceptual grounding later became critical in both the exam and her professional role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clear_and_Insightful_Explanations\"><\/span><strong>Clear and Insightful Explanations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat truly stood out was how the explanations taught you how to look at questions,\u201d she explains. \u201cYou start recognising how a question can be twisted before it actually is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ability to anticipate exam logic, rather than simply compute answers, gave her a strategic advantage and steadily built confidence as the exam approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Results\"><\/span><strong>The Results<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Passed <a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/shop\/frm-part-1-complete-course-by-analystprep\/\">FRM Part I<\/a> on the first attempt (2021)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passed <a href=\"https:\/\/analystprep.com\/shop\/frm-part-2-complete-course-by-analystprep\/\">FRM Part II<\/a> on the first attempt (2022)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Approximately 50% of total study time spent on AnalystPrep<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time she walked into the exam hall, she felt prepared not just for familiar patterns, but for surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKnowing how wide and realistic the question bank was made me feel I was preparing in a complete, wholesome way. I also heard from many candidates who relied almost entirely on AnalystPrep and cleared with strong percentiles. That gave me additional confidence that if I used it properly, I would perform well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_Impact\"><\/span><strong>Professional Impact<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Astha works in risk analysis, where the FRM curriculum continues to shape how she thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConcepts like derivatives, valuation, MTM, VaR and basic risk modelling gave me a strong technical base,\u201d she says. \u201cEven in discussions that go beyond my exact role, I can participate meaningfully because I understand the underlying logic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earning the FRM has also changed how she is perceived professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople now see me as someone who understands risk. That naturally brings more trust and credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet one of the most powerful outcomes has been humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRisk is vast. The more you learn, the more you realise how much you don\u2019t know. That is what I love about this field. It keeps you learning for life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The designation also had a tangible career impact. \u201cMy resume was shortlisted because of FRM, and my conceptual understanding helped me crack interviews.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Her_Advice_to_Future_FRM_Candidates\"><\/span><strong>Her Advice to Future FRM Candidates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Astha offers two pieces of advice that shaped her own journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First:<br>\u201cThis exam is not meant to make you money. It is meant to make you a better student and a better thinker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She believes the curriculum fundamentally changes how you view institutions, decisions and systemic risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, from a close friend during a moment of doubt:<br>\u201cIf six more months of this curriculum feels unbearable, then maybe this is not the career you want. Because you are not choosing an exam. You are choosing a lifelong profession.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For working professionals, her counsel is simple and powerful:<br>\u201cBe consistent. Show up every day, even if it\u2019s just a little.
