https://www.coachingactuaries.com/

RECOMMENDED STUDY APPROACH


Phase 1: Learn
Step 1: For each topic, watch video lessons and/or read study manual.
Step 2: Take quiz on the topic using Adapt and/or using end-of-lesson practice problems in the manual.
Step 3: Review your quiz; read the solution to all questions even if you get it right.

Phase 2: Practice & Review


Create full-length practice exams using Adapt. Strive to achieve an Earned Level of at least 7.
Review solutions to the problems. Understand why you did not get a problem right. Rework the problem.
Review Adapt exam results and identify your weak topics. Review these topics, and generate quizzes to practice.
Use review material (formula sheet, review videos) to reinforce core concepts.

To begin, answer the following 3 questions in the yellow cells below:
1. When is your exam date?
