This year the exam is on May 26, would it be safe to assume in Spring 2006 it will be around the same time?

Reason I ask is because I had planned to take Probability again next semester and a class that uses the Kellison book during spring of '06, but now Exam 1 is in early September so taking Prob over doesn't make sense anymore. I was just hoping my school schedule would provide me with some prep before the exam.

Thanks in advance.

'''. Spring semester? That's way too far ahead - the spring exams haven't even been administered yet. You'll have to wait a few more months, but yeah, it will probably be around the same time, unless they get Exam FM computer-based by then (which I doubt).

Exam P won't only be offered in September ... I imagine they'll be offering it at least 3-4 times a year. So, you could probably expect the next testing of Exam P to be in December/January. Why wouldn't you want to take probability again as a review? And either way, you could always self-study these subjects, like many others not at actuarial schools do.

Oh ya *smacks head*, I was planning on self-studying... I'd taken a prob/stat class, but perhaps I should retake intro to Prob.

I'm still new to considering an actuarial career, I'm 2 semesters away from having a BS in Computer Science and minor in Applied Math. I disliked the way my school presented Calculus and Differential Equations, but love Probability and playing with numbers... hope this is my true calling. Thanks wat!

Anytime. I always liked probability. Maybe you've found your niche.
