Is it possible to add an extra day to the Feb FAC to accomodate the change to the "new" FAC? I don't have a problem doing a presentation, but I just don't want to risk the March FAC getting full.

Unless there are additional changes to the 2008 FAC from the 2007 FAC, just add a day to it and call it good.

Doable?

Damn, you're quick.

Outside of the new presentation element, I'm unsure of the differences between the new FAC vs old FAC. Can you elaborate?

Thanks.

That's the big difference. We're also working to update some of the continuing content.

I am quick, aren't I?

Yep. Thanks for the reply.

See you in March (now if you can just speed up the grading of my FSA modules).

We're trying to squeeze every possible day out of the grading process, but we'll never be able to do at the Fellowship level what we've already done with Exam P and, starting in 2008, Exam FM (instant results!). FSAs need to read what you submit, and they're all volunteers, after all. But we're trying. Really.

What if I tell you that I plan on being an exam grader after getting my FSA?

(Actually, I do plan on doing that.)

You haven't even heard my recruiting speech yet. Wow, I am effective!

I signed up to grade exams right after I got my FSA in November. I still haven't heard anything from the SOA yet. Looks like they don't really need graders that badly.
