Just keep telling youself,

whatever happens, atleast 70% of candidates have to pass or the SOA loses a LOT of crediblity, I only have to be better than 30% of people (hopefully none of whom are my coworkers, or people on this board)..

I'm afraid I'm not in the same boat because I have already given up and jumped into the water and am in fact.. drowning.

Hey y'all

I am feeling the same too. I don't think that I have ever studied this hard for an exam, and yet not feel confident. This has been a stressful summer. Most of us are in the same boat I think.

However, we should persevere for another 2 more days, if not, all our time and effort (reading and assignments) would go to waste! We shall celebrate on Tue night!! or drown our sorrows in alcohol!!

Today I went over the edge. I tried to do the Module 5 end-of-module exam today, and I got 7 out of 17 right. I kept going back through the exam on some of the questions to try and find the "right" answer. On 2 of the questions it took me until the very last answer to get it "right". On the Module 4 end-of-module exam, I had one question where when I read the question, I thought one of the answers was one that I was "sure" had to be wrong, and it ended up being the "right" answer according to the SOA. I am very afraid of the opinion questions that could be on the exam where they ask you to choose the best option, because many times in the material, I would disagree with what they have chosen as the "right" option.

I logged my reading time for course 8F last fall, and I spent 75 hours reading the material for the first time through. I have spent over 100 hours reading material for FAP, and I skimmed quite a few of the articles since I was targeting spending 40-50 hours per module like the SOA has said. I feel very lied to by the SOA as to the amount of effort that would be required by FAP. At this point I am expecting Tuesday to be a disaster.

Let's all try that! Are you studying effectively now?

I am going through Module 5 again as this seems to form a big part of the syllabus, with all the textbook reading. I go through mood swings too, feeling despaired sometimes but as they say, the last few days before an exam is most important, that is why I am still persevering

I was feeling a bit exhausted by the process up until I started doing BPP practice tests. Now I am in full-blown panic mode. I think I scored 5 out of 80, and mostly by dumb luck.

I decided not to do the BPP exam, as I think I would have scored badly as well and freak myself out unnecessary. I decided last week not to revise using BPP materials as I was worried that I would have studied their detailed materials, and if SOA's questions were really overview, I wouldn't know how to apply any of my memory work. Do I make sense??
