I'm enrolled for the entire course, but the exams don't seem to have been posted... do you have access to them already?

I'm also wondering when the practice exam questions will be posted. I'm disappointed with TIA. I really tried to get a head start on this exam but I have been held up by how long it has taken to get the material on the website.
It's a good thing I also have the ASM manual. If I didn't I would have already run out of questions to do. The key to passing these exams is questions questions questions...
There is less than 30 days till the exam. Good product but this waiting is unacceptable.

I don't have MFE practice exams either... my question is did the 07 and 08 students have original practice exams? if so, why aren't they at least posted?

Comparing the MFE course to the TIA 4/C course.. I see how Dave Revelle has updated the entire 4/C seminar this term.. with a much larger syllabus... and has managed to record video solutions for EVERY practice problem and even the last released exam.. He is planning to have 3 original practice tests within the next few weeks. Dave also has to answer email questions from all his Probability students (which I'm sure is quite a few), do both a P and C live seminar, and he is even helping James Washer in doing some of the specific statistics portion for the 3/L exam.

I don't know Bill Cross or how busy he is, and no offense if he happens to read this, but he certainly isn't producing the amount of material that Dave Revelle has produced this term.

Yes there will be MFE practice exams. Bill is working hard on updating those now. There will be somewhere around 8 practice exams. The first one should be available soon. I'll let you know as soon as it available.

I've done the first two pdf ones so far. They seem to be too easy...though I've never sat for this exam before. When compared to the ASM manual anyway, I'm getting through them with relative ease.
