TIA’s EA Exam 2F Blog

Here it is. The link to the announcement is on this page of the SOA web site.

Updates

I’ll be taking packages to the shipping place later today.

For those of you who signed up for the live seminars, you’ll get a box of paper and a CD-ROM. If you only signed up for the live seminar, you’ll get the CD-ROM, which contains all the same files.

This what the lessons look like once you’ve logged in. Click on the thumbnails above for a larger view.

New Lessons

Most of the lessons have been uploaded. I am updating the IRC Section 415 materials to reflect the 415 regulation that was finalized in March 2007. It is only 120 pages long!

After I finish with that, I’ll upload the sample problems for each section. Then I will start recording the solutions.

New Lessons

Several students have emailed me with this question. In general, the idea is that the online seminar experience will be the same as the live seminar.

But there are some differences:

ONLINE SEMINAR

1. You get access to the actual presentation as soon as it is available on the IA web site.
2. If something seems unclear after the seminar, you can repeat the presentation as many times as you like.  And you can email me with any questions.
3. At the end of July, I mail you a CD with PDF files for everything at that date. In June and July, as the files are created, they are posted to the Infinite Actuary web site. You have to print the files yourself.
4. As I create more files, they are posted to the IA web site. Students receive email notifications, and are responsible for printing these files.

 LIVE SEMINAR

1. You don’t get the actual presentation until the Live seminar is held.
2. If something seems unclear after the seminar, you can email me with any questions.
3. At the end of July, I mail you a stack of paper (1,000 pages), plus a CD with PDF files for everything that is printed.
4. As I create more files after the mailing date, I email them to the students. The students are responsible for printing these files.

Updates

I have been working on the hundreds of new overheads for this seminar (REALLY!) Most of the 404 and 412 material on the last year’s exam syllabus has changed. The majority of last year’s exam will NOT be relevant to this year’s seminar.

As a result, I have decided to delay working on the 2006 solutions. I plan on sending out the 2006 solutions near the end of August. In the interim, I will work on making up questions to work through during the seminar.
