The SOA catalog lists the texts to study for exam 2. They are:

Principles of Corporate Finance (Sixth Edition) by Brealey, R.A. and Myers,

Price Theory and Application (Fifth Edition) by Landsburg, S.E.,

and Theory of Interest (Second Edition) by Kellison, S.G.

I would like to begin studying for exam 2 and I am looking for some advise on which books to purchase. Does anyone know of any other materials which might be useful for the purposes of passing exam 2?

Heres what I am doing:
I've bought the texts,I also bought Actex and the CSM supplemental manual.
You do need the texts becoz Actex is just a summary.So you could use Actex when you are revising but not for basic study.CSM is a compilation of questions from previous exams.
So this is what I've done. Hope this helps.
