I would be surprised if 1/3 of the exam takers actually participate in
this e-mail study group. Maybe the CAS could tell us how many people
have registered. Anyway, Gwendolyn should probably create her own
mailing list and only send the practice exam to those who contributed
questions.

I am doing this for all of the papers right now.

I am hesitant to share with other people though. I need for 2/3 of you
to
do worse than me on the exam. Helping out fellow exam takers lowers my
chances of passing. This may sound terrible, but this is the attitude
that
the CAS indirectly promotes with the exam process.

The only reason that I subscribe to this study group is to keep tabs on
other students. :-)
