I think you mean [PdT]Only an aspiring FSA would be stupid enough to ask this question.[/PdT].

The CAS doesn't even give grades above "pass". If you fail, you get a numeric grade on the same scale as the SoA grades, but if you pass it just says "pass". The only reasons I can think of for re-sitting a CAS exam would be:

You changed you name and it's easier to re-take the exam than to get your credit re-assigned.
You want to steal questions from an exam that won't be published (only the on-line exams as of today).

So no, you can't retake the exams, or if you can, it's a glitch in the system that should probably be fixed.

Funny, I'm 23 btw.

I don't know about your job, but in the past 6 months I've used some of the material from P, FM, C, 5, 6, 7 and 9 .... You never know when it's good to have the knowledge stored in your brain. I mean sure you can always go look it up, but it's much faster if you remember.

You know, eagles418, you have a fantastic attitude! We all can tell you have a bright future! Winning friends and influencing people!

Perhaps you should take a hint in the reactions from other people on the AO. You're pretty much on your own many times.... When that happens, ask yourself: "What's more likely: I'm right and everyone else is wrong; or perhaps I'm missing something?"

If you're just trolling, then fine... do your troll thing. But if you're on the level, you have a lot of awareness you need to work on.

campbell-eagles418-myself, I think we can all confess our egos in this competitive dog-eat-dog world around us. It rubs off on us all.

I for one sure did a great job influencing people on posting this question. Considering the difficulty of passing exams and I posted this question.

Getting along with others or getting along exceptionally well with a few meaningful others is not a skill anyone of us can completely master nor completely fail..unlike actuarial exams scored by a single-digit number.

I understand Campbell is a remarkable actuary and eagles418 will be the Campbell of the next generation.
