Assessment: The final grade is based on four assignments, and a final exam. The assignments questions are multiple choice, constructed to help students verify that they have achieved all of the learning objectives. Students may complete the assignments at their leisure – anytime before the final exam is written.
Final Exam: The final exam is a comprehensive, two-hour, closed-note and closed-text exam. Exam questions are multiple-choice, similar in substance to the assigned practice and graded homework problems.
Proctors: Students are responsible for finding a proctor. Students can choose to use our online proctoring service, ProctorU (details below), or find an outside individual. Exam proctors must be approved by ACTEX. Acceptable proctors include:
- Credentialed actuaries
- CFA or a member of management unable to sit for exams, such as an HR manager or university professor
- The proctor and candidate may not be related
If you have selected CBT Final (computer-based test) the instructions will be emailed to your proctor (see Student Responsibilities below).
Individuals with disabilities are eligible to receive necessary testing accommodations. Please contact onlinecourses@actexmadriver.com prior to registering for this course if you require an accommodation.
Students are allowed to use SOA approved calculators.

Very helpful and descriptive lectures-videos.
The course was great, and Dr. Perry made the concepts very easy to understand. The assignments with each module were also very helpful.
