As you probably know, you will get a 15-minute read-through time before each exam session (both morning and afternoon for 5-hour exams). Last sitting, there was some confusion around what appeared to be a new “no folding” rule during this read-through time.
Fortunately, this is now clarified in the SOA’s official rules and regulations. In paragraph 16, “Special Instructions for Written‐Answer Exams”:
Writing/folding pages, brain dumping, highlighting or the use of a calculator will not be permitted during the read‐through time.
As always, please set aside time to read the rules and regulations before you take the exam.
