everything works well on actuarial university. I like the linking based on keyword and keyword look up. The planner is kind of general, but I'm following it and the study manual to guide my time allocations. Goal is really good too; working on a higher Goal score.
like the new lookup feature on acturial university - the online linking by keyword and the annotation features in the study manuals are totally different and better than I've used before. Great product.
the app for online viewing and printing downloaded easily and is letting me study off my iPhone; that alone is huge. I'll post another review in 6 mo.
