    Thanks for your reply Dr. O. I will follow your advice and keep studying but also try to keep calm! I've been working on my memorization for a while now, so that I didn't have to cram it all in at the end. I'm just going to keep studying and practicing now. (My exam is not until Friday, so I still have some time!) Thanks for your help and for your manual as well!

    Quick question regarding ASM

    practice exams 1-5 seem to relate to soa 123, however where do the exam questions that aren't cited from? Did Dr. O (sorry if you are offended but it appears people refer to him as that.) create them?

    thanks.

    Yes, all questions that are not attributed to the SOA or CAS are created by me.

    Staying calm is as difficult as the actual exam itself.
