Default Ken Fikes' CAS 6 Study Manual

Just wanted to let everyone know, since there was a demand for this, that our website is now capable of accepting orders for just his study manual. The cost is $300.

Default quizzes and practice exams

Does one also get access to quizzes and practice exams if she buys only the manual?

Good question. I don't see why we can't make that happen. We would just give you access to one of our sites where you can download them. Ken?

Yes. These will come later in the study season (near end of September). One note on the manual. The reserving section will be done in May. The accounting and ERM sections in June, and the reinsurance section in July. This shouldn't be a problem, but I know some people like to have everything in their hands at the start, and I just want to be clear that sections will be posted as they are completed. I will be recording online lessons from June - mid-September also.

Like LG said, Ken has the majority of them done. If you'd like to wait until they are all done, give us until mid-July. I am about to upload another three manuals today. We've got a good amount of material uploaded for our registered users already.

Videos will be completed when the manuals are done. Ken might do a few during the interim, but the majority of them will be completed after the completion of the manuals. We're looking at late-August and early-September for completion of those. Like I've said before, if completion of the videos and manuals are a concern, you might want to wait until we have them all done (or go with another vendor). We will do our best to have them all done on schedule. Thanks.
