ARM™ 402 Most Important Topics

In our opinion, there are three critically important topics that you need to know to pass the ARM™ 402 exam:

Managing risk – the most important part of the exam will be understanding how to manage each individual type of risk covered in chapters 4 through chapters 9 in the 402 course (intellectual property risks, vehicle risks, legal risks, operational risks, financial risks, and strategic risks). In each chapter, there will be a section regarding the risk control and risk financing measures that a risk manager can take to reduce risk. For example, in the intellectual property risk chapter, you should know the risk control measures that can be used to reduce copyright, patent, and trademark-related risk. In the vehicle risk chapter, you should know the risk management techniques that can be used to reduce automobile “fleet risk”. For chapters 4 through chapter 9, know what risk control and risk financing techniques can be used to reduce risk.
Insurance – understand the risk financing goals, the characteristics of an insurable loss exposure, and how to calculate claim payouts under each type of insurance plan (large deductible, umbrella, self-insurance, etc…)
Treating risks – know the risk treatment plan and how to treat risk (exploit, risk control, and risk financing).

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

You can see an example of how these are worked into a scenario-based question in our ARM™ 402 Practice Exam Questions Blog.
