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.
The CAS is pleased to announce the introduction of exam breaks during our four-hour exams, starting with the Fall 2023 exam sitting. This new initiative is designed to enhance the performance and well-being of all exam takers, by providing them with an opportunity to rest and recharge during their exams.
With the spring exam administration closing and summer nearing, we recognize that it may be difficult to stay informed about updates being implemented through our Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP), so we are providing multiple updates at this time.
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.
