The
Benefits of using our Study Program
This study package provides candidates with an integrated set of tools necessary to achieve a passing score.
Passing is a function of numerous factors, and begins with effective exam preparation.
Effective exam preparation requires that candidates have a plan which addresses the following areas over a course of 3 - 4 months:
1. Have timely access to quality study materials. Since this will be the primary source you reference over a period of 3-4 months, make sure that the materials you choose are comprehensive.
2. Monitor study time at the both the aggregate and syllabus reading levels. Although determining how many total hours to spend studying is important, it is more important for candidates to gage how many hours they spend studying per article. Candidates need to maximize their benefit per hour of time spent studying each reading.
3. Have access to a Study Guide that TIES together key content in the syllabus readings, study manuals, the CAS Learning Objectives and Knowledge Statements, and past CAS exam questions.
4. Have access to a testing facility to determine how well you will perform under timed conditions 3 - 4 weeks before the exam.
