Update to Prometric folder format

If you are registered with the SOA to take a spring 2021 FSA exam, you should have gotten an email from the SOA recently about an update to the way file folders on Prometric workstations will be named (PDF link). These instructions seem to be coming directly from Prometric and are slightly different from the Prometric video posted on the SOA’s YouTube channel earlier this month. However, the changes seem to be only cosmetic—nothing too major.

My advice is to pay attention to the name of the folder where your working files are stored on the computer. These files should already be pre-loaded when you start the exam. As long as you know the location of these files, it should not be hard to find them when uploading. Fortunately, there is an entire 5-minute section dedicated to uploading files at the end, so hopefully it will all be very straightforward.
