Exams & Admissions

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.
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.
