Course 3 Seminars

[cthawk]

I just wanted to get everyone's thought on the seminars for Course 3.

NEAS
GSU
AUSTIN

Austin has to be the best, it is in the Texas Campus. Please help

GSU was great - Follow Batten -> he is the key - however NEAS has Mahler who i'd suggest to avoid like the plague! He just gives you too much irrelevant information which is a big waste of time. There's 3 prof's which teach what Mahler does in a clearer more concise format at GSU.

I C3 passed with a score of 8. No more math exams! On to C6! Whohoo..

I'm considering the MAF seminar in Chicago - any feedback? I definitely want to be exposed to Batten - any thoughts on if the other half of the seminar is good? I have Mahler's notes - but I thought two perspectives might help.
Also - any comments on the new ARCH seminar also in the Chicago area, or the ARCH study notes?

How quickly do the seminars fill up?

I am in the process of changing jobs and think it would be easiest to wait until after I start my new one to sign up, but that won't be until the beginning of February.

Austin = Daniel = PASS
It's great to get the whole seminar from 1 person.
He tells you up front what you need to know to get an 8. I learned what he said and got an 8. It's pretty intense, but well worth it.

Any suggestions for Seminars for Course 3 in Boston?

[RTVA]

I wouldn't spend money on anyone else besides Batten. I can't say anything about Mahler, having not taken him, but I didn't get anything out of the GSU profs who taught Mahler's material. Batten was the reason I passed (1st try).

I was enrolled for the Boston seminars, but I was informed by someone who attended that the two teachers primarly regurgitate the Actex manual. Your time is better spent self-studying.

I blush to boost my own seminar, but take a look at the pass rates for the participants in the Austin 3 Seminar: http://www.actuarialseminars.com .

Where's Variance Man when he's needed?

I strongly agree with the formula
Daniel seminar in Austin = PASS C3 EXAM
I took his seminar. I guarantee you that if you follow his suggestions how to study and prepare for the exam you'll get at least an 7!! I highly recommend it!!
You can tell me later...
Good luck!

Don't know much about Austin seminar.

I think Batten's pass % is just as high, if not higher if I remember correctly from talking with him.

That being said, and by the fact that I've been to his seminar, I would strongly recommend going with him.

I can't tell you rather to go to GSU or NEAS. Personally, I went to NEAS. Mahler is ok, but you can use his notes without going to his part of the seminar. His notes are pretty phenomenal I might add.

Good luck!

Didn't even look at the Batten material before I went to his seminar for C3 (MAF). I only went to his half of the seminar and used Mahler's notes for other half. Definitely the way to go! Didn't hear anything to great about the other guy.
