I have responded to three people that I am in the same position i.e.
taking Part 6 early in my career. Thought I should post this on the
study group site then responding to each person.

I will be attending the NEAS seminar in Chicago. BTW, I have not
received my Part 6 study kit. I used some of the readings from another
actuarial student from Spring 95. Obviously, some readings have been
replaced. As for the ASOP, I downloaded them from the website. I have
not even received the Foundations of Casualty Actuarial Society text!

I called the CAS re: the study kit and was informed that due to a change
in vendor, there is a back log on sending the materials to us students
who need to study early enough to pass the exam. Is anyone as irated as
I am?

I expect the pass ratios will be insanely low, also. Look at the pass
ratio for part 7 this past fall. It's going to be very ugly through
'99.
