[kaskomm]

I signed up, sitting the last few days of the window so that I have time to start after sitting for 6 in a few weeks.

Note that (unofficial) instant results will be available for the Nov-Dec window. :tup:

[Aw Yeah]

AWWW YEAHHHH

[jesusislord]

i ordered the module a couple of weeks ago, but cannot find the motivation to start. after my vee final exam next tuesday, i guess i will get in gear.

[MashiMaro]

i just signed up today, still debating if i should get this out of way by taking it in the Oct-Dec window or just wait till Jan.
Have no clue what these are like and how to study for them.

[jesusislord]

well i made it through the first 5 assignments. assignment 1 was brutal, but after that it has been a breeze.

[nonlnear]

Starting tonight. Procrastination FTW! :tup:

[booyah81]

just started this morning. taking gaddy's advice and going through all the review notes first, then doing quizzes/tests to see if i need to actually read the material. hopefully there is a lot of overlap from old exam 5&6 and new exam 6U. :)

[kleinehase]

starting today. scheduled to take exam on 12/5. Let's see if 1 month is good enough.
My plan is using RN and quiz. Hopefully that's good enough.

[Debaser]

Took the test today and (unofficially) passed, with about 40-50 hours of studying in all. I think that was a little more than was necessary to pass. I started studying 3 weeks ago, and have passed the old 5 & 6, so there was a lot of material I had seen before. I felt that the exam was a tad more difficult than the practice exam/quizzes.

How do you get the result of the test? Is it a print out or just result shown on the computer screen? Does it tell you the % or just "pass".

It tells you on the screen and you get a printout. It just says "pass".

:woot:

I might consider doing this in Dec instead of Jan, then.

[Bobby]

Hey guys,

did you know that EP = WP - Change in UEPR ???

Amazing!!! So glad I'm taking this course.

[Bobby]

I wonder what sentences are repeated the most in the exam literature.

Two contenders that I've got:

"Premium represents the most significant source of revenue for most insurers"

"Unlike other businesses, the price of insurance is not known at the time of sale."

[kaskomm]

Starting tonight! Woot!

I really enjoy re-learning the ins-and-outs of the PAP... :wall:

[mrdomer07]

So I understand that we have to take this course regardless and it will be easier blah blah blah... but how can the CAS say that a candidate who has passed Old 5, Old 6 and will eventually pass New 7 is not exempt from this exam? Im legitimately baffled. I of course have to put in 20-30 hours for review so its not like I could pass this course with no studying and in the end I can't complan since the average person in my situation will probably come out ahead with a bonus / raise of $500 or whatever. Regardless, I just can't see how we have (or will at some point) covered maybe 15 of 16 sections yet not be exempted from this course.

I didn't see any old threads on this. I'm not really complaining since its a requirement at the end of the day, I'm just wondering what the CAS is thinking.

[PapaSmurf58]

Passed. Done. Don't want to think about it any more. I can see how these courses could be helpful to someone just starting their insurance career. Unfortunately, that isn't the case for most of us.

[kaskomm]

About two weeks in (gave myself a month) and I'm through with 10 of the 16 lessons, so I'm running at a good pace. There seem to be less mega-lessons (45+ min estimates on the timer) thusfar than what I remember from Course 1, which is always nice.

[Staky41]

How far is everyone? I'm on chapter 8... I'm concerned I'm behind. I was kind of blowing it off thinking it would be really easy - but I definitely don't know everything!

[booyah81]

i'm in the middle of assignment 12. 2 weeks to go so i can't keep doing .5-1 assignment a day as i've been doing.

[jesusislord]

starting assignment 15 today. will finish by tomorrow and will start reviewing for the next 2 weeks.

[mrdomer07]

Through 12.5 assignments with 8 days to go... feel fairly comfortable at this point as Ive put in less than 20 hours so far and Im actually remembering a lot of the stuff that I passed on old 5.

[Staky41]

Chapter 11 --- two weeks from today is my test

[Smartbill]

passed it today! took me 30 minutes

similar to what others have told me, i could narrow down the harder questions to 2 answers and then it was a guess from there

[burly189]

Passed this morning. So nice to be done with this thing!

[Briggs]

Passed this morning as well!! Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! Can't wait to see my grade... I'm pretty sure I rocked it!

[jesusislord]

passed. will start exam 5 tomorrow.
