ABOUT ARM™ 400 EXAM 

The ARM™ 400 exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions in the virtual exam.

The virtual ARM™ exams will be 65-minutes long. Meaning, to answer every question before the time runs out, you should plan on spending about 1 minute and 18 seconds to answer each question (50 questions in 65 minutes).

All questions on the virtual exam will be application-based scenario questions. These are tricky questions that require you to apply your knowledge to a real-life scenario to choose the appropriate answer (you will not be repeating a definition or concept). That means, there is really no way to cheat on your exam, so don’t even try.

You can download one of our free practice exams to see what these questions look like.


ARM™ 400 DIFFICULTY

The hardest part of the ARM™ 400 will be memorizing every topic. There is a ton of information to digest and comprehend. Not only do you need to understand and memorize each topic, but you must comprehend the content to a high enough degree that you can apply the concepts in a real life scenario. You will see these concepts formatted as scenario questions on your exam. You must memorize each concept AND be able to apply the concept in a real life scenario on your exam.

ARM™ 400 EXAM TOPICS

In our opinion, there are three critically important topics that you need to know to pass the ARM™ 400 exam:

  • Risk technology – Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (ERM) and how it utilizes technology and smart products to mitigate risk. This includes blockchain, cloud storage, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), robotics, sensors, and smartphones. Understand how these technologies can be applied to a real industry or real scenario to mitigate risk.
  • Risk measurements – Understand the methods of quantitatively measuring risk including KPIs (leading and lagging), CSFs, and KRIs. Understand how to read and apply these measures in a real scenario.
  • Risk employees – understand the roles, responsibilities, and risk departments including the risk champion, chief risk officer (CRO), CEO, board of directors, and risk committee.
  • Risk laws – understand the various risk laws, standards, and regulations such as the Dodd-Frank Act, Solvency II, Basel III, COSO, IIA, ISO 9000 Series, and the UK Corporate Governance Code.

We have found that these are important topics that may be on your exam in the form of a scenario-based question.

ARM™ 400 STUDY TIPS

A lot of students fail the ARM™ 400 because there is just too much content on the exam. It is too much information to memorize all at one time. Here are our three biggest tips to passing the ARM™ 400 exam:

  • 1) Fully read the online course or attend an ARM™ class. This is by far the most important tip. These ARM™ exams are tricky and the exam questions will relate to very minute details from your ARM™ course. Skimming through the course will not cut it, you must read EVERYTHING. Even reading it just once will help you recall the information on your exam
  • 2) Take notes. This doesn’t mean you should rewrite every single word from the ARM™ 400 Course . Use shorthand and bullet points to quickly jot down the most important topics. This will help you better retain the information for easier recall on the test and will give you a “study guide” to refer back to (rather than rereading the full course!)
  • 3) Practice, practice, practice. Take as many practice exams and quizzes as you possibly can. This will help you familiarize yourself with the ARM™ question format and help you determine which topics you need to re-study. Once you go through a few practice quizzes and exams, return to your notes from step 2 and review any section that you failed to comprehend on the practice exam.

For more information about the type of questions you will see on the exam see our blog about the ARM™ 400 Exam Questions.
