all CAS exams multiple-guess?

I'm a recent crossover from Life / Health. Just looking through the upper exams .... they all look like 4 hour exams and are multiple choice. As opposed to the higher exams in the SOA have a morning session of multiple choice and an afternoon session of short answer...

Am I missing something? Is there a short answer part of the CAS track?

You are missing about 75%. Most upper level exams are about 25% multiple choice.

You can look at the most recent exams and solutions here:

In 2004 the upper exams were set up as follows

Part 5: 17 MC questions (17 pts), 32 essay questions (83 points)
Part 6: 19 MC questions (19 pts), 31 essay questions (66 points)
Part 7US: 28 MC questions (28 pts), 43 essay questions (72 points)
Part 7C: 17 MC questions (17 pts), 46 essay questions (83 points)
Part 8: 43 essay questions (85 points)
Part 9: 20 MC questions (20 pts), 28 essay questions (80 points)

thanks guys. I was just looking some more and got the 2004 spring C5 exam and saw on the first line of the instructions that it was 17% multiple choice, and 83% essay.

Thanks for the info....
