Same here. I also read Patrik, but that’s about as far as I’ve gotten and I’m sure I’ve only digested maybe 10% of it since I don’t really maintain a lot until I start doing practice problems the second go around.

I bet your employer would let you expense it.

I know that 3rd party study materials are a lot better now than back in the days of the dinosaurs when I took exams, but I always started by reading the syllabus material.

(Then I took apart the study manual I’d purchased, and pulled out all the nicely curated old exam questions, and tossed everything else into the trash. I did sometimes go to a live seminar, that being a thing at the time. But those were scheduled well into the study time, when they could expect candidates to have finished reading the source material and bring their quesitons.)

The CAS finally fixed my profile only one acknowledgment letter now instead of two. Hmm maybe this means that they are gearing up to release…

My concern is that they haven’t released 5/6U yet. Maybe they will do those Thursday and 7-9 Friday, that would be great. But that’s just hopeful speculation. I’m approaching the 10 week mark and feel like my productivity at work is going down the tubes more each day. But the reality is I should just not be on GoActuary as much.

I really don’t see any reason for them to release them in order, they’ve already said they’ll do things as they are ready.
