I've used actex for all my CAS exams; they save you time and most everyone need that.
9 made much easier; solid manual, outline of the material by the author and actex
Passed, in large part because of this actex manual.
I've previously used other Actex products. This follows the syllabus closely. I'd give it a 4. Nothing missing, but could use some additional content to round it out.
Starting in college, I've used mostly Actex study manuals and only failed 1x. I've had this manual for only 3 weeks. I'm liking it and wanted to just reoommend Actex, in general.
