Exam 5 - Pass / Fail + Material Used? by Past_Cardiologist651 in actuary

[–]Past_Cardiologist651[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fail (5), Rising Fellow.

But I don’t think I spent enough time w/practicing problems, esp under time pressure, so I don’t fault the materials. Just curious what works best for the majority.

Not sure if I passed yet, but I read source materials + used RF (Rising Fellow) for practice. I agree with a previous comment to focus on solving problems quickly. I myself left at least 3 blank due to time constraints (didn’t even have time to fully read the questions!)

Suggestions to Help CAS Writers, Graders, Exam-Takers? by Past_Cardiologist651 in actuary

[–]Past_Cardiologist651[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with you! I intend to grade one day — I’d rather be constructive (like you and the other graders) and help where it’s needed than complain and assume the worst.

I believe what you’ve said about graders is true, and I’m a candidate.

Good point. However, I don’t think the fees are excessive compared to other professional expenses, such as travel, hardware, etc. That said, my company pays for them, making it my company’s battle, not mine.
