Don't think you need to pay $200 for the ADAPT practice tests..

I took a look at http://www.coachingactuaries.com/Store/P1Products.aspx

It's $17 for 2-day access and $39 for 7-day access.

And there is a free 1 day trial (but its only available more than 30 days before an exam window):

ADAPT is well worth whatever you pay for it. End of story. Though the $200 is...I honestly have no idea what that would be for. I bought the one-month pass for $60-something and aside from the Actex book (which taught me the material), it was by far my most useful/helpful study tool.

Thanks Bananas! So far I've done about three Adapt exams and this thing is wow. It just gives a whole hybrid of questions that really help you understand the concept of what you are learning.

I guess that could've been a huge reason why I failed. All though I did understand the concepts, it might've not been thorough enough to get me over the hump on some of the tricky questions on .

I wish I knew about this sooner =(
