TIA Seminar

[Eddie Felson]

I'm planning on taking the TIA online seminar - mainly for the video lessons. I'm wondering how the outlines/flashcards compare to others. Has anyone found it necessary to supplement (or replace) the provided materials with other flash cards or manuals from GRASP/MATE?

My sense is to go with the TIA materials, unless anyone feels there is a significant gap between TIA and the others.

Thanks.

Do TIA flash cards and manuals exist for this exam? I'm not seeing anything about that here: http://www.theinfiniteactuary.com/?page=soa_gh_dp

I found the TIA materials combined with the syllabus readings to be entirely sufficient. Meaning - I think that if you use those and apply adequate preparation time, you should be able to pass with confidence.

I don't have results yet, but I think this exam sitting could have been a slam dunk for someone who used TIA+readings+adequate study time.

Be prepared to spend some time in the beginning organizing the materials they give you though.

I am referring to the following (taken from the TIA site):

Detailed outlines of all the readings
Condensed outlines to help with memorizing important items
Printable notecards of all readings

Yes, I covered that.

I see no need to supplement them.

Sorry Form, I was replying to the prior post around whether TIA manuals/flashcards exist for this exam.

Thanks for your feedback. Your approach sounds good to me. Now if only I had a syllabus.

The syllabus is easy to get.

You know how to get the Fall 2012 syllabus? You got a guy or som'tin?

You can just get the spring 2012 syllabus and make some easy decisions about what is likely to remain. Group Insurance for example, will still be on the syllabus.
