LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR STORYHere is what some of our past customers have said about BattleActs:
"This was my second attempt. I had used another study guide before. I was able to put in way fewer hours than I did on the first attempt, and felt much better prepared."
"I put myself to sleep reading typical manuals and source readings, so it helped to have the material explained in more of an entertaining way to keep me awake. I also appreciated the on-line quizzes and the fact that the scores would decrease over time, motivating me to review the material to keep my scores up."
"The prioritization of the papers was great compared most of the other guides, being strictly in the order of the syllabus."

How is CAS Exam 6 different than other actuarial exams?
The emphasis is on memorization vs calculation. The amount of material on the syllabus is overwhelming, making it challenging to memorize the vast amount of material without the right study guide to help you. In addition, the material is difficult to study and retain as the readings for CAS Exam 6 are mostly independent of each other. So how do you pass CAS Exam 6? Know the frequently tested material really, really well; provide the kind of answers the examiners are looking for; and have a robust time management plan for exam day. BattleActs helps you build all three skills.
Do I need to purchase a study guide or will reading the source material and doing past exams be adequate?
A study guide will help you learn the content efficiently and effectively. Most of the source material is not difficult but there is often more detail than is necessary for the exam. BattleActs streamlines the material into a series of wiki articles that emphasize the types of questions that have historically appeared on exams. Also, the original source texts do not have practice problems like the ones that appear on the exam. BattleActs addresses this need with quizzes, flashcards, Excel-based practice problems, and an infinite supply of randomly generated, computer-scored web-based problems.
What is the best way to approach studying for CAS Exam 6?
Accept that you can't memorize everything. Our CAS Exam 6 study guide condenses the syllabus to a realistic amount of material, helping achieve the level of mastery required to pass the exam. Utilize our active memorization tools such as flashcards and quizzes for optimal memorization. Being able to quickly answer the calculation problems on exam day is also critical as there is no time to waste. The way to reach this mastery is to practice, practice, practice. You will be provided with a new problem to solve each time with our web-based platform that randomly generates numbers for optimal learning.
Will your study platform help me create a study schedule?
BattleActs shows you where to start and how much time to spend on each topic. Feel in control from day one because we've done all the preliminary organizing for you. Use our tips to easily create a study plan that works with you.
What is your refund and pause policy?
