to prepare for the exam, read the book FRM handbook (
by Philippe Jorion).
Got two other books to recommend,
- Risk Management and Financial Institutions (by John Hull)
everyone knows the book ' Options, Futures and Other Derivatives' by John Hull, which is a classical in the risk management domain.
- 'Value at Risk' by
Philippe Jorion
though now there are tons of books regarding VaR for further reading.
FRM Handbook, Options, Futures and Other Derivatives and Value at Risk can be found from Pinggu, just searching the title on her homepage.
Hope this helps and good luck on your exam!
