Today, the SOA released an updated video covering the Prometric setup for the spring 2021 exams. Please make some time to watch this video before you take the exam.
The key change for spring is that the SOA has created a new, distinct 5-minute session for you to use solely for submitting your exam files (Word and Excel file). This is in addition to the time provided for taking the exam. The time allotted for taking the exam is identical to before: 5 hours, 15 minutes for LPM and LFM; 4 hours, 15 minutes for ERM; and 2 hours, 15 minutes for LAM. In other words, you’ll have an additional 5 minutes on top of these times to use just for submitting your files. This is good news and likely intended to alleviate some of the issues that happened last fall when people ran out of time before they were able to submit their files (although it seems the SOA was able to recover those files anyway).
