COVID-19 Update
As you know, the CAS announced that the Spring 2020 exams will be postponed until further notice. I would like to assure all students using Casual Fellow study materials (including the CF/RF Joint Online Seminar) that access to the materials will be extended free of charge until the date of the exam (whether exams are postponed to the summer, the fall, or sometime beyond). Please note that this will count as one sitting regardless of the date in which the exam is administered. Thus, if a student fails the exam, he/she would still be eligible for a free update per our usual policy if he/she has not already used a free update. Lastly, if the postponement of the exam creates a scheduling conflict for a student and he/she can no longer sit for the exam, access will be extended to the student for a future sitting.
A copy of this notice will be added to all CF courses (including the CF/RF Joint Online Seminar) and the policies above will be added to the FAQ page of this website.
Note that we will continue to update the online courses and the news page of this website with errata updates and other clarification points as students study over the next few months.
Thanks and stay safe,
Michael (3/17/20)

Exam 6-US
March 16, 2020 Errata sheet updated. -Michael February 13, 2020 At the end of the RMAD - Regulatory Guidance slide within the "COPFLR Relevant Comments Video (around the 9:15 mark)," we stated that a RMAD does not exist. We should have said that an RMAD does exist. The video has been revised and reposted, A new audio file for that video has been posted as well. December 12, 2019 The Spring 2020 online seminar and study guide are now available! Please see the Seminars and Study Guides tabs or more details. -Michael October 30, 2019 Now that the fall 2019 exam is over, it's time to start thinking about the spring 2020 exam! In addition to the study guide, we will be offering an online seminar for the spring 2020 sitting! Seminar details along with sample videos can be found on the Seminars page of the website. In addition to the online seminar, we will continue to offer the study guide as a separate product. The spring 2020 study guide and online seminar will be available once fall exam results are released in mid-December. For those who want to start studying immediately, the spring 2020 study guide can be purchased now and immediate access will be given to the fall 2019 study guide. Once the updated study guide is released in December, you will be automatically transitioned to the updated guide. -Michael |
Exam 7
March 27, 2020 I uploaded a new version of the Teng/Perkins video. I revised the "Feldblum Enhancement" discussion on the second to last slide to make it clear what we want to subtract from the CPDLD and PDLD ratios. This goes along with the clarification I added to the study guide errata. -Michael March 22, 2020 Errata updated. -Michael March 8, 2020 Updated the errata with a number of clarifications. Also, I revised the Venter Factors problem video to update the past exam problem on the correlation test with new t-statistics (based on the errata released by the CAS in early February). -Michael February 11, 2020 I uploaded revised versions of the Venter Factors and Shapland review videos. For Venter Factors, the updates were in response to the errata I posted on February 9 regarding the Cape Cod model and the correlation test. For Shapland, I revised the discussion on the "degree of freedom/scaled pearson residuals" slide and the "process variance in the future incremental slide." Lastly, I re-posted the errata sheet with one additional sentence to expand upon the Cape Cod model errata for Venter Factors. -Michael February 9, 2020 The errata sheet for 2020 has been posted with a few errata (including the Venter Factors errata posted by the CAS in early February). -Michael January 30, 2020 I re-posted the Venter Factors exhibit to the online courses to show the full iteration and adjustments needed to match Venter's numbers shown on page 823 of the text. -Michael October 30, 2019 Good news! The following products will be available beginning November 4, 2019:
