We’re still on pace to clear 900 today easily, even with the removals.
I got a call from an out of town number. Maybe just maybe that was the CAS
Why would they call you? To tell you to stop calling?
Stay on topic. Post padding is just unacceptable!
We’re getting close to 2 eastern aka the hot zone
You don’t have to go back that many years to find a time when the CAS releases exams “as soon as possible” and didn’t publish expected release dates.
This is a completely new process, with new uncertainties, taking place at a new time of year that wasn’t the time people volunteered for. I don’t think it’s that remarkable that they haven’t given you a date. I’m sure they COULD give a date, but then when they beat the date (and it’s likely they will beat the date they are certain they will hit) they’d hold the results for a few days to meet their promise. The results are already quite late in the cycle, and i believe the goal is ASAP.
It’s extremely material because quite a lot of the activities can’t begin until all the papers are graded.
Step 1, grade every paper twice (once each by two graders), was completed shortly after the last exam was given. But then they pick a preliminary passmark and a regrade band, and then they need to give graders time for the regrade (previously scheduled and in Vegas, but remote this year, and probably just “do it ASAP”). Then there is a bunch of analysis and meetings and such. Held among people who have other priorities and didn’t have a ton of time to schedule those meetings.
Yes, they charge much higher dues. And higher exam fees. And higher costs for syllabus material. And a lot more of their exam adminstration is done by employees rather than by volunteers. And they are a much larger group that has more resources even without charging more.
The SOA did do exactly that in 2020, actually. Spring FSA exams were postponed to mid-July. Results came out mid-September, with fall exams at the end of October.

50% probability

Why such a high probability?
Either happens or not… something like that. It’s been a while since P
The CAS keeps saying February. Makes me think its probably not this week.
Idk they have been pretty consistent with BY early February, which I think is what they’re going by every time someone asks. To me that still leaves a chance we get something this week
It’s sort of an internet meme. Some thing happens or doesn’t happen thus it must be 50% probability (obviously flawed).
I think people often erroneously apply it to the likelihood of some intelligent creator.
I agree with that, but more of an outside chance. Like 25%.
haha realistically I would say lower but I don’t want to lose hope
You know I remember release day years ago (like six or seven). When the CAS said it would be released at 2-3 pm and it was released at 10 am. That was amazing.
Wouldn’t object to them breaking their word this time and releasing results without sending an e-mail the day before.
