I am looking for past SOA exam questions (for Course 1,2,3,4). They
must be "real" exam questions (ie., by SOA only and not from other
sources). And they do not include questions already posted on SOA
website. Course 1 and Course 2 are needed most urgently.
Thanks |

Hi, answersneeded-ga:
I took several of the Society of Actuaries exams some years ago, when
the structure of examinations was somewhat different. This morning I
phoned the company I bought study materials from, to confirm that they
still offer sample exams with their packages of study materials. They
do.
Some of the sample exams (with worked solutions) are previously used
ones from SOA, and some are "made up" exams by the authors of the
course materials (but pertinent and faithful to the current SOA
formats).
The exams are bound separately from the course materials, but they are
not sold separately. The cost for Course 1 materials is $85 and for
Course 2, $139. They have packages for all the Course Exams you
mention, but I only asked about the prices for those two in order to
give you a sense of the expense involved.
Please clarify what you expect in return for the list price offered.
Do you require the SOA exam questions to be provided (as opposed to
providing you contact information where such exams can be obtained)?
Do you require answers or fully worked solutions (I'm unsure if your
GA name, "answersneeded", forms part of the question here)?
regards, mathtalk-ga

Hi mathtalk,
thanks for responding. I am really looking for real exam questions by
SOA and not made-up questions from any other sources. Those course
materials you mentioned may have real questions in it. However, at
this moment, I am not interested in obtaining since I have no time to
isolate the real ones. Following is a link from SOA. It should give
you an idea about what I am asking. For example, for course 1, SOA
currently provides 3 sets (Nov2000, May2001, and Nov2001) of real
questions. I am interested in knowing where or how I can obtanin say
real exam questions for May2000. Although earlier exams have somewhat
structure (ie., the current course 1 is actually a combination of two
earlier exams), the contents are pretty much the same. So that issue
shouldn't be a problem.
The listed price is for providing informaiton about where or how I can
obtain such questions. It would be best if you could find questions
with fully worked answers, although it is not absolutely necessary.
However, at a minimum, answers (without detailed explanations) should
be available. Also, at least one set (questions+answers) should be
provided for EACH of the course1 through course4.
Thanks
