Fall 2009 Study Approach

[ActuarySchmactuary]

Is anyone going to take a different approach this year given last year's exam and communication from the exam committee? Anyone planning on relying on study manuals significantly less? If not, what are some good manuals to use?

I'm doing what I always do: not significantly relying on study manuals.

I agree. Fox's notecards are great. I normally read the papers and make all my own notecards from scratch. But on the papers I've covered so far, I've had to create very few additional cards.

Are you using last year's notecards? Is there a way to get his material without attending his seminar?

Thanks!

Sounds like the Fox materials are good but not available until mid-September. Are you using last year's, or do you have some way of getting them sooner?
