Candidates
The CAS in partnership with The Institutes is excited to announce that registration for the new Online Course, Introduction to Data & Analytics is now open! Students and candidates can register and access the course through The Institutes website. The first window available for candidates to take the exam will be January 15, 2023 – March 15, 2023.
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.
