Sample Questions Available

Last year, I coordinated a group of about fifty people who together compiled
over 100 pages of unique exam questions (plus close to 100 pages of solutions).
I compiled the questions by author and also put together two sample exams which
are close in format to the CAS exams. In addition, I wrote a comprehensive
Schedule F scenario in which annual statement entries are posted. Email
correspondence allowed many corrections to be made to the question set, although
some errors do still exist. The sample exam questions were selected to be
highly accurate.

I have permission from the question authors and my company to offer the material
to establish a scholarship fund, by asking for a contribution of $100 for the
question set ( I compare this to Actex $134 which have already been seen on
exams, and Zarnick's $100 smaller collection which further lacks the email
correspondence corrections ). These funds may be used partly for administrative
help if I am unable to keep up with mailings, but I anticipate the response to
be manageable, so the vast majority or all will be given in scholarships to
students, paying for actuarial exam materials and exam fees. I am also looking
into a program that my company Fireman's Fund offers, which matches funds up to
the first $1,000. If I can qualify this scholarship, then the first 10
question sets will provide $200 in scholarships. The questions may also be
made available as a scholarship to Part 7 candidates who are not employed.

If you are interested in the questions, please send email to ganders1@FFIC.com
