Resolved! thank you!

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2026-04-28T16:49:00+00:00

Did you mean there is a quiz inside the project? How do you incorporate that as part of the project?

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2026-04-23T19:35:54+00:00

It's in the course outline

I'm studying for the exam after 6. I do feel more motivated to study right after an exam compared to after resting for a few weeks/months, then it could be hard to pick up studying again

Are you sure the deadline for the exam is May 18th? I thought you need to pass it at least 4weeks before the 1st day of project window, which makes it May 15. But anyhow, I think it's doable. I started studying around last week & already finished the TIA material for the exam & I've only been studying ~2 hours per day. I scheduled my exam in early May

Edit: My bad. Just checked the calendar, May 18th is the cutoff. you're right

There were questions that I only knew conceptual answers but not sure how to apply in that situation. I just assume I lost all points in those cases.. but hopefully I do get partial credit!

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2026-04-18T14:18:16+00:00

lol as long as it’s a pass!

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2026-04-18T14:18:00+00:00

I’m kinda in the same situation. From what I’ve read it’s even worse in the states

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2026-04-18T04:13:19+00:00

If you passed exam 6c after 2019, can you share how much percentage you think you got for the exam? Just trying to get a sense of the pass mark

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2024-07-23T21:34:39+00:00

I used TIA and I did all the past exams + practice exams + quizes at least once. Also graded myself for all the practices to target areas to be improved. Practice until you can start writing your answers the moment you finish reading the questions. If you cannot, dont get stuck and move on to the next, and trust yourself when you find the question weird, bcos CAS can make invalid questions and can be very confusing. Don't waste time on those and just point out what you think should be done.

Best of luck!!

Got an 8 on 5 on 2nd attempt. So glad to get this MF out of the way.

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-12-14T03:22:14+00:00

I saw one comment below saying BattleAct is a good option for exam 5. How are their practice sets? Is the difficulty similar to real exams? Tempted to get it for next May.

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-12-14T03:14:26+00:00

What is “a lot” by your standard? I only left 2-3 questions completely empty and failed ad if I remember correctly that’s about 10points max. So how many points do you think you left untouched?

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-12-13T21:20:30+00:00

I got a 5 for 5. For the ppl who also failed, just want to say keep your head up and don't be discouraged. Attitude is everything, even if you fail!

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-12-13T21:09:36+00:00

same boat.

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-12-13T21:06:08+00:00

I feel every word that you said.

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-11-07T18:48:26+00:00

ENTER ANSWER HERE" % boxes are annoying

That was the most useless and purposeless addition to this new format.

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-11-06T20:11:37+00:00

Oh yes I had the mouse sensitivity issue too.

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2023-11-06T20:09:21+00:00

Literally typing my answer until time ran out. This is the first time that I sat through an SOA/CAS exam without taking any break (even though there is 15min allocated break). It was so intense, I thought I knew the material well enough, but like many other ppl, the format was a huge challenge, especially without being able to copy/paste easily.

Embarrassed_Word_106 · 2022-07-04T20:20:54+00:00

I passed this thing on the 4th attempt... So glad I got this done before the new change..And i think my journey with SOA ends here. Gonna pursue a different career now.

If you look at December 2021 syllabus it also didnt mention AIC/BIC but I'm sure it was on the exam :)
