The CAS Admissions team is looking for volunteers to help with the new Property and Casualty Predictive Analytics (PCPA) requirement for ACAS. This offering will feature both an examination and a hands-on project component, designed to help candidates and professionals in the actuarial field gain a deeper understanding of key concepts and improve their predictive capabilities.
The General Officer of the CAS Syllabus and Examination Committee has released a memorandum outlining approved changes for the May 2024 CAS source materials.
As previously announced with the CAS Admissions Transformation Plan, the CAS will be testing based on the new Content Outlines for Exams MAS-I, MAS-II, and 5 beginning this October/November 2023. With this transition, new item types will be introduced into the October/November 2023 exams. Previously, Exams MAS-I and MAS-II contained multiple choice, single response question types and Exam 5 contained constructed response and spreadsheet question types.
As the field of actuarial science continues to evolve, there is a growing need for actuaries to have advanced tools and techniques to help them better understand and manage risk. Recognizing that the CAS also evolves by revolutionizing how it prepares actuaries with problem-solving skills for the future, the CAS Board of Directors has approved a new predictive analytics requirement as part of the Admissions Transformation Plan.
The CAS is pleased to announce the publication of the new Content Outlines (formerly referred to as Syllabi) for Exams 7 and 9, as outlined in the Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP). The new content outlines enable candidates to begin their preparations for the new exams. Candidates preparing for the May 2024 sitting of Exams 7 and 9 should refer to these new content outlines.
