As we head into the busy end-of-year season, the CAS recognizes that it may be difficult to stay informed about forthcoming updates being implemented through our Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP), so we are providing a preview at this time.

In the spirit of our on-going commitment to transparency as we announce key milestones of the Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP), the CAS is sharing details regarding the process for deciding changes to topics covered on CAS exams. Over the past two years, the CAS utilized three separate analyses to ensure that the content presented on the ACAS and FCAS exams accurately represents a holistic viewpoint of the profession, and evaluates the skills needed to ensure CAS candidates and members are prepared to meet future skill demands.

The CAS in partnership with The Institutes is excited to announce that registration for the new Online Course, Introduction to Data & Analytics is now open! Students and candidates can register and access the course through The Institutes website. The first window available for candidates to take the exam will be January 15, 2023 – March 15, 2023.

The CAS is pleased to announce that as part of the announced Admissions Transformation Plan, computer-based practice exams for the MAS exams will be available exclusively for candidates that are registered for the fall 2022 sitting of MAS-I and/or MAS-II.

The CAS Candidate Advocate Working Group (CAWG) is looking for candidates taking CAS exams to join the working group.

Recently, a number of candidates have reported challenges finding exam appointments at a preferred location. As noted in our Fall 2022 CAS Exam Availability Update, the CAS and Pearson VUE continue to monitor capacity for CAS candidates registering for the Fall 2022 exam sitting.

The CAS and Pearson VUE continue to work together in monitoring capacity for our candidates at exam centers for our next exam sitting.
