Definitely ASM. If you do some research, you will see that tons of guys passed M strongly recommended ASM.

I have the lastest edition(4th) for sale, now for $140. Everywhere else is $190. Save $50 immediately!

PM me if you are interested.

i think this has been discussed in some prior threads at length and the general consensus was that instead of depending upon just one guide, especially ASM, which is notorious for errors, a combination of two or more is recommended. in particular, there was some talk about using boverman or ramanathan in conjugation with ASM. i dont know if anyone recommended BPP, though i believe it should be at par with ASM.

i am using the textbooks, i.e. Bowers et all and Cunningham for a preliminary treatment of the subject matter followed by ASM for the plethora of practice problems it contains.

Broverman's awesome. BTW... Does anybody have a picture of this guy? I can't get the image out of my head of this old balding guy explaining Actuarial Mathematics to me. Kind of annoying.

If you think my study guide is awesome, wait till you see my picture.
This was taken when I was 11 years old, in 1962. I haven't changed
much since then.

PS Thanks for the endorsement of the study guide.

That's perfect! haha I would be willing to gander that even that eleven year old could've passed Exam M on the first try! Sorry for the late reply! Cheers.
