Candidates

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 expects to release all results for the April/May 2022 sitting on or before June 24, 2022.

In September 2021, in conjunction with the release of the Admissions Transformation Plan, and motivated heavily by candidate feedback, staff and volunteer input, the decision was made to remove the guessing penalty. Effective with the Fall 2022 exam sittings, the guessing penalty for exams MAS-I and MAS-II will be eliminated.

The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) announced a new Online Course on Data Concepts in a December news post outlining changes to CAS’s 2023 credentialing requirements. This new course will provide candidates with P&C industry knowledge and data skills that will prepare them with job-ready capabilities for entry-level actuarial positions.

The upcoming April/May exam sitting will introduce a new essay response question type. In addition, we will now have questions that use more spreadsheet functionality; however, knowledge of specific spreadsheet formulas will not be required.

The CAS in partnership with The Institutes is pleased to announce that CAS Online Courses will now be offered at a 50% discount to full-time students and candidates without full-time employment.

The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) is announcing two changes to its credentialing requirements as part of its multi-year Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP).
