CFA is THE most rigorous exam I have ever taken. More difficult than, say, Solid State Physics or Quantum Mechincs.
It took me 3 days to prepare for FRM in 2004. It took me 3 years to pass CFA LII alone.

Had an opportunity to sit for the exam and flunk. With FRM, have seen average students getting through. Probably just a perception.

CFA has almost the same credential as MBA if not higher, and its scope has been widen to include the knowledge to be many kinds of consultants.

Becuase the former is more intensive, rigorous, long drwan and requires heavy commitment and dedication. It is also more comprehensive in breadth of coverage

FRM material is more in-depth. The exam is also more difficult. FRM holders usually have MS/PhD already. So, a pass rate of 40% really is very low. CFA holders on average have bachelors degree only. So, a pass rate of 40% is really high! Most of CFA holders i know flunk FRM pt 1 at least once.

FRM is much, much more involved in statistical and probability mathematics (quant), whereas the CFA merely touches on it. The FRM is designed more for professionals already in the industry and with real as opposed to academic experience. CFA is more introductory to the world of finance when you are still learning, the FRM assumes you already have the background and are looking to expand into a much more deeply concentrated arena.
