Curious on how many exams people graduated with. If you were studying for an exam then graduate and pass it shortly after graduation (within 2 ish months the), include that in your total.
I’ve began to do some of the soa questions on ca and it feels like these are noticeably harder than the random quizzes I generate around that level. Are the soa questions a good representation of the exam or no. Feels like the ca questions don’t dive into the deeper topics as well. My el is 4.8 and I feel wildly unprepared right now. Just looking for advice on if anyone else went through the same.
I’m sitting for fam in two weeks and was curious about some things.
How many qualitative questions are there on the exam and is there a certain way to prepare for them specifically?
I have an el of 3.9 right now and I’m getting roughly in the 60%-65% on level 4.3 exams. Should I start practicing level 5.5-6 questions or should I keep trying to raise my el?
Any other thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.
I sit for fam on July 2nd. I just took my first el test and didn’t feel great on it. Does anyone have advice on how many questions I should be doing or how I should approach topics I’m weak in?
I know uec gets a bad rep and some of that is totally fair. I’ve thought of some ideas and I’m curious on what people think about them.
Currently to get uec credit you need an 85% in the class. 80% of your grade from exams and 20% from in class stuff. The final must be a minimum of 50% of the grade
My idea would be to completely get rid of the potential for a dropped midterm grade. Furthermore, I think the final should account for 80% while the last 20% should be a relevant project that the professor has the students complete as you learn new topics throughout the semester. Putting more weight on the final replicates taking one big exam that is for all the money. The project would help kids understand topics better and would be relevant to something they would do in the real world. For example, if you take the uec class for ALTAM, you have a “client” and as you learn more about different topics you could calculate various pension plans or disability insurance for them in excel.
By putting the final at 80%, students can have a university grade and a uec grade. I still think professors should have midterms so that if you do poorly on the final, you shouldn’t be at risk of failing the class.
I’m want to know everyone’s thoughts on this and if they have other suggestions.
