Please bear 🐻 with me. I had a "minor" surgery a few weeks ago and apparently my body has opted for a very prolonged scenic route to recovery rather than the direct route I had anticipated.
While I continue on what is looking like a lengthy path to recovery, I will have precious little time for the manual this season. With that:
-
For 2022, I am only offering a "Modified Exam 8 package".
-
I will not be updating the 2021 Exam 8 Manual for the updated NCCI file.
-
I will not be making hard copies of anything.
-
Online access only -- I will not be making PDFs.
-
I will always welcome questions/ feedback/ improvement suggestions, and often improvement suggestions take the form of clarifying questions, so continue to send them! However, because I'm behind on everything right now, expect a very long response time to anything.
-
Most likely no errata raffle
-
Price = $50
-
If you purchased the 2021 Exam 8 Manual between 1 May and 21 June of 22, I'll send you an email to refund the difference in cost.

-
Exam 9 Errata Raffle is still coming "at some point" probably in July; still working through e-mails
5/17/22:
-
Exam 9 Errata Raffle will be held mid-June. I'm still working through e-mails with errata notes, so feel free to keep them coming.
-
Fall 2021 Exam 8 access will expire toward the beginning of June.
-
2022 Exam 8 Manual is anticipated to be available for purchase around mid-June. Actual dates depend on when the syllabus is published, and the degree of changes I make to the manual.

-
Happy Halloween.
-
Exam 8 Errata Raffle will be held mid-November. I am incredibly behind on responding to e-mails, so if you have asked something in the last couple of weeks and I've not yet answered, please continue being patient :).
-
Spring 2021 Exam 8 access will expire in the beginning of December.
-
Exam 9 Manual will be available for purchase around mid-November. (7 November edit: Now available)

Wow! What a whirlwind the past few months have been! Wishing healthiness to everyone. Both actuarial societies have committed to (finally) moving to computer-based exams, and I am updating the manuals to maintain consistency with that approach. This is a time-consuming process.
-
Intended Updates for 2021
-
Due to time constraints, for the indefinite future, I will not be offering manuals for the 2x/year exams (SOA exams + CAS Exam 6).
-
Practice exams will be moved to Excel.
-
Where it makes sense, practice questions will have some integration with Excel (as in the current CAS 6 manual format). This will allow for more interesting questions.
