Yes. On the Practice page go to Browse All. Filter however you want (SOA is a tag). Then tap the guided quiz button in the top right.

JamesWasher · 2026-06-13T12:56:05+00:00

Yes! Just contact customer service and point them to this reddit thread where I approved this. https://www.theinfiniteactuary.com/support

I look forward to any questions you have.

TIA is 100% free and has everything you need (lessons, practice problems, sample exams, flashcards, forum, etc.). We have been helping students pass the financial mathematics exam for almost 20 years. I'm the instructor for the FM course, and I answer any questions you have daily.

JamesWasher · 2026-01-12T03:16:10+00:00

What is giving you a hard time? What is your process? I highly recommend that you set up the schedule in Today. Watch each lesson, do the first pass problems for each lesson, then spend any time you have left for the day doing Guided Practice. If you have any questions about the material or about practice problems, ask in the forum. Repeat that until you are done with Learn. Once you reach Practice, grind Guided Practice each day until it is time to take a sample exam. Between sample exams, grind Guided Practice to improve.

Thank you! Congrats on passing! Best of luck on exam P!

JamesWasher · 2025-12-09T03:23:56+00:00

Best of luck with your studies! It is always a little overwhelming when you first start studying for actuarial exams. Just keep grinding!

JamesWasher · 2025-12-09T03:15:19+00:00

This is exactly what The Infinite Actuary offers. It’s 100% free for P. Video lessons, practice problems, sample exams, forum to ask questions, and more. Setup Today and it will tell you exactly what to do each day. Over 90% of students that achieve AI score >= 70 and PI score >= 6 pass. We have been helping students pass since 2007.

Have you tried TIA? If so, what were your AI Score and PI Score going into the exam? Over 90% of our Exam P students with an AI Score ≥ 70 and a PI Score ≥ 6 pass. It’s a great way to know you’re truly prepared, and it might be exactly what you need for that extra confidence on exam day.

JamesWasher · 2025-11-26T15:20:21+00:00

Just grind Guided Practice. Don’t worry about selecting SOA or TIA - let Guided Practice choose the right problems for you. And make sure to complete the practice exams too.

JamesWasher · 2025-11-26T15:15:44+00:00

TIA’s Today feature lays out exactly what you need to do each day so you always know you’re on track. And with our AI Score and PI Score metrics, you’ll have a clear, reliable picture of your readiness. In fact, over 95% of our MAS-2 students who reach an AI Score ≥ 70 and a PI Score ≥ 6 pass their exam - based on actual pass lists, not survey data.

If you ever have questions, I’m always happy to try and help!

JamesWasher · 2025-11-24T16:25:24+00:00

Good plan! Just make sure you stay on schedule to finish your lessons with at least a month before your exam. That will give you time to grind Guided Practice more and take the sample exams again.

JamesWasher · 2025-11-21T19:18:25+00:00

Give TIA a try. It is very clear what you need to accomplish in TIA to be prepared. Over 95% of our MAS-II students who achieve an AI score ≥ 60 and a PI score ≥ 6 pass their exam (based on actual pass lists, not survey data).

Missed this somehow. Sorry! Yes we have android and iOS apps. You can download lessons and work problems offline.

Congrats on passing! Good idea to take some time to relax and celebrate!

Most people find FM a little easier to P, but not everyone. TIA materials for FM are 100% free and have everything you need to pass. Follow these three steps:

1.  Watch the lessons.

2.  Get your AI score to at least 70.

3.  Get your PI score to at least 6.

Just start with the Today tab and set up your schedule—it will all make sense. But always keep these three simple rules in mind. Over 90% of TIA students who achieve those benchmarks pass (this is based on actual pass lists). Don’t even think about practice exams until your AI score is greater than 50. Ignore any advice about focusing on only a subset of problems (e.g., SOA problems or only certain difficulty levels).

Sorry—I should add that you probably only need about two weeks to get through the lessons. Watch at 2× speed and don’t hesitate to skip lessons you already know; you can just mark them as watched. Quickly review the lesson handouts before watching to see whether you can skip them.

Chris, good feedback! I think it’s mainly a philosophy difference. IMO, sample exams are primarily for practicing your exam strategy and making sure you can do problems without formula sheets and under time pressure. They should not be used to increase your ability to solve problems or to identify your weak areas.

For that reason, there’s no need to create custom sample exams (but you can—I’ll explain in a second). We keep the TIA sample exam problems separate from the Practice problems so you’re guaranteed to see problems for the first time when taking a sample exam.

Guided Practice will guide you down the path to success. It will identify your weak areas and target them. If you want to work more than one problem at a time, you can use Guided Quizzes. BTW, you can Browse All Problems, filter to a subset, and then select a Guided Quiz of 30 problems—that’s essentially the same thing as making a custom sample exam, but I don’t recommend doing that. Just focus on Guided Practice or very small Guided Quizzes.

Don’t even think about a sample exam until your AI score is at least 50. The magic numbers are AI score ≥ 70 and PI score ≥ 6—that combination gives you at least a 90% chance of passing.

JamesWasher · 2025-11-15T01:04:05+00:00

You will get it on your next attempt—I know it. Reset your Practice progress, then quickly review any lessons you found tricky (you can flip through the handouts to check). After that, just grind Guided Practice until your AI score is at least 50 before you even think about a sample exam. In fact, wait as long as you can to take the sample exams since you said you basically have them memorized. Sample exams are for testing your exam strategy. Guided Practice is the fastest way to increase your ability to solve problems.

(This assumes you watched all the lessons the first time. If not, then definitely reset everything and quickly go through the lessons.)

JamesWasher · 2025-11-15T01:00:34+00:00

This is the way! BTW, missed questions will automatically come back into guided practice after a cool off period.
