A few updates:
- Patrik lesson is up
- Teng & Perkins lesson is up
- A 2 minute video on the Maximum Copula is up in C.Copulas
- Errata updated
If you’re following the study schedule, you are reading England & Verrall, and Verrall this week. E&V is one of the toughest papers on the exam, up there with Mack(1994). Plow your way through it, and then read it again. For this paper, I suggest reading the manual first, as I’ve synthesized the material. Read E&V before Verrall. Verrall is just regular hard.
Good luck.

Hey Folks,
I’ve gotten a few questions on material and practice problems. I’ve been working on producing the videos for section A. I’ll continue on that this week.
- What’s Available now: Study Manuals for A&B; Lessons for A.1 and most of A.2-3.
- Lessons (Videos) – I expect to have nearly all of section A done by next Monday (1/23)
- Then, I’ll turn my attention to writing up the study manuals and producing the lessons for section C
- I’m interested in getting feedback on the videos – If you have some, please send it to alejandro@theinfiniteactuary.com. Now’s the time, as I am currently producing them.
- My plan is to write practice problems once all the Lessons are posted. I’ll continue to post some sample problems in the manuals and videos
- There are 16 weeks until the exam – I’ll post a study schedule in the next few days

Hi Everybody,
I see folks are starting to get going on studying now that the new year has begun. I’ve posted all the handouts for section A. Section B will be posted in the next few days. I’ve made good progress on section C, but likely it will be about 2 weeks before I start posting those handouts. In the meantime I’m working on creating the videos for section A, and expect to have a couple up this week.
At least one video will be a sample video, for those still deciding whether to use TIA for this new exam.
I’ve put together some recommendations on how to approach section A – it’s a one page document on the same page as the lessons.
Good luck.
