ACE Website and Study Schedule

[ACEManual]

Hello,

I wanted to inform you of the changes to the Ace website (www.acemanuals.com). You can now find the following information on this website:

- Sample products for study guide and flash cards
- Sample online seminar videos
- Information about online and live seminars
- Sample study schedule for students
- Links to SOA exam information
- Author bios

Please check it out!

Thanks,
Jacob

I like the schedule, but there are a lot of #DIV/0! errors in the SECOND PASS OF MEMORIZATION section on the MilderSchedual tab.

[ACEManual]

That's because there are no days given the second memorization pass (i.e. -- only one round of memorization). You can adjust that by playing with the blue dates at the top.

It's made to be flexible since everyone wants to spend more/less time on the exam. Hopefully the two scenarios I put together will cover most people.

Oops. Thanks.

I should have mentioned that the study schedule is in the product information page.

Hey Jacob, quick question:
Do you have a study schedule spreadsheet for the Canadian exam? If not, what changes should be made? Thanks
