Canadian residents must add 7% for GST; Virginia residents must add 4.5% sales tax. Residents outside North America should add 50% of the total cost for shipping.

Sample Examination Questions

Sample examination questions for Parts 1 and 2 are available at no charge from the CAS Office. Copies of Part 3B and Parts 4-10 examinations for the three most recent years, and sample answers for essay questions on Parts 5-10, are available at a charge of $20 ($35 Canadian). The most recent examinations with sample answers may be purchased at a cost of $10 ($19 Canadian) from the CAS Office. The sample essay answers are actual responses that have received credit and are illustrative of successful answers, although they may not be considered perfect answers. NOTE: Because sample answers are not available until July 30, 1999 for Spring Examinations and January 31, 2000 for Fall Examinations, the three-year set and the most recent examination packages will not be updated until these dates. Please use the white order forms provided inside the back cover of the Syllabus. NO RETURNS, NO REFUNDS.

In referring to a published prior examination, candidates should keep in mind that the questions were based on the course of reading in effect for that particular examination and may not in all instances reflect the current course of reading. Candidates may also expect future examinations to vary somewhat as to the proportion of question style and subjects. New forms of questions may appear from time to time, and the total number of questions may be increased or decreased.

CAS Library

The CAS Library has nearly all the books for the 1999 readings available for loan. All candidates registered for CAS Examinations and all members of the CAS have access to the library facilities. The CAS Library is located at the CAS Office in Arlington, Virginia.

Books and manuals may be withdrawn from the Library for a period of one month without charge. In general, not more than two references may be in the hands of one borrower at a time. Requests must be in writing and must include the borrower’s complete name, address, and telephone number. Address requests for books to:

Casualty Actuarial Society
Library Service
1100 North Glebe Road, Suite 600
Arlington, VA 22201-4798
Fax: (703) 276-3108
E-mail Address: library@casact.org

The CAS Office ships the requested book(s) in North America via United Parcel Service (UPS) and internationally via Air Mail. Due to delays in the mail system, the CAS requires all shipments of books returned to the CAS Office to be shipped via UPS or an equivalent carrier with tracking capabilities. Please do not use the United States Postal Service. Overdue books will be charged at a cost of 10¢ per day.

The few books that are not available through the CAS Library may be obtained by contacting the organizations listed in the "Index to Text References" in this Syllabus.
