Volume 3: Independently Authored Preparatory Tests. (Included in the Ultimate Study Program only).

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.
