Forums & Blooms

July 27th, 2014

To do well on Blooms questions, you need to UNDERSTAND the material. One of the ways to help build your understanding (IMO) is to participate in the forums (TIA and/ or others).

There are a lot of great questions/ comments on the forum, which should help you think about the material in new ways. Also, answering questions should help with your technique in answering questions in the exam (eg writing the correct amount, correct way, and most importantly correct answer)

Errata/ Section G Combined File

July 2nd, 2014

I uploaded an “Errata” spreadsheet to the Introduction section of the website. I will keep this updated throughout the year. I’d recommend checking this periodically and making the appropriate updates to your manuals. I will usually make the corrections to the individual manuals in the website as well (although the “Combined” manuals from each section will not be updated).

Also, for those of you who have downloaded the Combined Manual for Section G prior to 7/2, the NAIC Solvency manual was outdated. You will therefore need to replace this with the updated NAIC Solvency manual. (Note that this comment only applies to the Combined manual. The individual manual was correct the whole time). I apologize for any inconvenience.
