Our Ultimate Study Program provides candidates with Volume III. Our Independently Authored
Preparatory Tests (In Paper Format) comprise:
- One set of three MC exams (over 60 modified past CAS MC and computational questions).
- One set of five exams with over 125 challenging questions and solutions (including questions and solutions to the new syllabus readings).
This set of exams contains computational and essay based questions which
mirror the rigor of the types of questions to appear on the Fall Exam.
This set of 5 exams contains computational and essay based questions. The
recommended time to complete each exam is 2.5 hours.
Given the question types, and the time to complete them, one can conclude that this is a set of robust exams.
CAS examiners develop questions that are aligned as closely as
possible to the guidance given in the CAS Learning Objectives and Knowledge
Statements. Therefore, we have aligned the questions appearing in these independently
authored exams with the CAS Learning Objectives and Knowledge Statements.
Each test contains questions and solutions from sub sections of the CAS exam
8 syllabus readings.
