Exams & Admissions

As previously announced, the work of the CAS Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP) began with the Job Task Analysis (JTA) conducted in 2020, which resulted in recommendations for the high-level domains1 and tasks2 covered on each exam in the ACAS and FCAS exam pathway. This foundational analysis helps to inform the enhancements to all CAS exams, and we are now pleased to announce changes to Exams 7, 8 and 9.

We are seeking your help finalizing our exam writing rosters for this sitting, specifically for exams 5, MAS-I and MAS-II.

CAS is transitioning to once-a-year testing for Exam 6-International to keep in line with current demand.

Registration is now open for the May 2023 CAS Exam Sitting. The registration deadline is April 10, 2023 at 11:59 PM ET. For exam dates and additional information, visit the exam registration page.

In accordance with the Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP), the CAS anticipates publishing new Content Outlines (formerly Syllabi) later this month for the October/November 2023 Exams MAS-I, MAS-II, and 5. The following information will provide our stakeholders, primarily candidates and academics, with details on the similarities and differences between our former Syllabi and new Content Outlines.
