All 10 Question

[leemathewson]

In going through the online materials and the recommended reading schedule for Exam 5, I noticed that some of the articles they mention on their study schedule are not on the syllabus (and vice versa - some items on the syllabus are left off the reading schedule).

What gives? Should I track down these extra articles and work them into my studying? For those who have used All 10 in the past, do you recommend these online "pacing" tools? I'm guessing the Exam 5 package for All 10 is the sum of their 5A and 5B packages, and they haven't adjusted for differences in the syllabus. Is this accurate?

I have to say after reviewing the reading schedule and noticing some gaps between the schedule and the articles on the syllabus, I'm a little nervous about using All 10 in my preparation.

I noticed some confusion between the readings listed and what was on the syllabus as well. I've only looked at the suggested reading for week 1 so far, so I can't say anything about the later articles, but ASOP 9 was removed from the syllabus. Here is the link to the CAS website that says this:

So, I would feel free to not read that article like all10 suggests.

The Exam 5 readings have slightly changed from the 2011 Syllabus. I downloaded them back in October, but when I checked again in November, the 2012 Syllabus had come out, and some readings were removed.

the "removed" reserve readings are in the appendix of Friedland, so they are not really removed.
