Thumbs up AFE Study Manual
I figured PAK deserves his own thread.

PAK, I just want to thank you for very high quality study manual and condensed notes and sample test you put together. It is by far the best study manual of the three that are available. Reynolds and Actex don't even come close.

And thank you for all the help you gave us online!

Good luck to your exam result!

Default Pak is the man
I agree 100% that Pak's manual is the best manual that I have ever used. I didn't sit for this October exam, but will be for the May exam.

Now I have to wait to see how much the sylabus changed for '09, and what will Pak charge for updating the notes

I sat for AFE in May and got both Reynolds and Actex and PAK's manual was leaps and bounds better than those. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone sitting. I'm hoping that it put me over the top.

This is really good news, as I - most likely - will be taking AFE for a 2nd time in the Spring.

Just a reminder, the syllabus is changing quite a bit.

The SOA site is updating the education/exam area on Nov. 12, and the Spring 2009 info should be up then.
