Correction to problem 5 on half-day practice exam [Canadian]

April 14th, 2010

There was an error in problem 5 on the half-day practice exam.  The PV calculation at 4% was incorrect, and I also noticed that the best estimate lapse rate and 99.5th percentile lapse rates did not make sense for the problem.  I changed the lapse rates given in the problem and also corrected the discounting error in the solution.  If you’ve already worked this problem, you may want to redo it.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Thanks.

Correction to half-day practice exam [Canadian]

March 29th, 2010

There was an error in problem #5 on the half-day practice exam.  Part (b) should have asked for the initial capital base, not the MVM.  Both the problem and solution have been corrected.

Even more practice problems [Canadian]

March 26th, 2010

I’ve just posted more practice problems and solutions on the Canadian seminar site. These were all created by Anita.  I also renamed the very last section to “Practice Exams” since you now have an extra set of practice exam problems to work thanks to Anita.

Just to clear up any confusion about the practice problems, I decided to post a screenshot of the changes below. The items circled in red are new.

Enjoy!

Lots of new stuff posted [US]

March 25th, 2010

I am pleased to announce that we have Note Cards for you to study with.  They are done for sections C through H.  (Sections A&B are not done, but section B is almost all calculations, which are not good on Note Cards.  If they get done, I will post them.)  The Note Cards are posted on the US Study Manual Course.

I have posted the solutions to the practice problems.

I have also posted a practice exam with solutions.

Keep Studying!

Additional practice problems [Canadian]

March 17th, 2010

Another set of 14 practice problems has been posted at the bottom of the Canadian seminar site.  These were created by Anita.  I removed problems that did not relate to the Canadian syllabus and left only those that are relevant.  Anita will provide solutions to these exercises later in March after her live seminar.

Thanks, and I hope you’re studying is going well.  You’ll be on the home stretch in no time. Hang in there!
