Anyone know of any good ones?

Does Farber have one?

Where do you get info on EA seminars?

TIA,
Yeppers

Yes, I believe Farber does one. I recommend him. I have also heard good things about Rick G. but I've never been to one of his.

On the SoA page there is a link to info about seminars. Also on ASPA.org they will have info on Farber's, although it's not up yet.

I went to Rick G. for EA-2A and loved it. I believe he has an EA-2B seminar for next sitting in Dallas, Atlanta and New York.

I am going to Temple class. Some people disliked it for EA-2A, but Klose knows the material for EA-2B pretty well. I recommend him. Go to Temple website for more info.

By the way, what do you recommend to order and read for this exam besides SOA Study Note?

Thanks.

Seems like it. I think I will skip 2B this sitting.

WWSituation: Unfortunately, I think you've hit the nail on the head. There is no concise manual that one can point at and say that it contains all you need to know to pass.

I heard that Rick G.'s seminar for the last EA2,B was not very good. He did a poor job of adapting to the new syllabus. I suspect that he'll be better this time around with an actual exam now out there.

Can anybody else tell me anything about the Temple seminar? I wasn't aware they had one until now.

Thanks, WWS. I think I'll skip it. Going to Philly from Manhattan, although actually doable, seems like more effort than it's worth. Though when I was younger with a girlfriend in Philly, it seemed like the effort was worth it. I prefer condensed seminars to weekly classes anyway.
