ACTEX / The Edge UPDATED Study Package for COMPLETE FAP Modules 1 - 8, 5th Edition
FAP的难点就是有非常多的资料需要阅读,然后要理解、融汇贯通这些材料,去完成每个module的作业和case-study。
这本manul有针对module learning materials有Detailed Summaries(对所有材料进行精简、总结,保留做练习所需要的内容)和Compressed Summaries(更加精简,以应付Interim and Final Assessments,遇到不懂的和需要更详细的总结可以再去看前面的Detailed Summaries)。
它还提供了Sample Interim Assessment,举一个非常好的例子,一步一步地教你怎样更深刻的理解教材、怎样结合材料去回答问题。对完成其他module的作业和case-study有非常大的帮助作用。
这本Manual提供了总结(Summaries),这样不用花大量时间去读所有的课本,能节省大量的时间,更能快速梳理所需读的资料内容。
这也是市面上唯一一本FAP的参考资料,口碑评价不错,是几个资深的精算师编写的。

MANY HOURS and DOLLARS went into the development of this study package.
ACTEX / The Edge FAP Study Guide is the only study guide for students wishing to have an accompanying study aid for the entire FAP course. It is a perfect fit for students who want to SIGNIFICANTLY cut down the amount of course reading and note-taking/exam preparation time, while also focusing on enhanced comprehension (i.e., we've tackled the heavy lifting a student woud normally endure while perparing for the course.)
The unique design of our study package
The structure of The ACTEX/ The Edge FAP Study Package is delivered in the sections as described below:
Detailed Summaries
The syllabus encompasses a tremendous amount of material consisting of module screens, online readings, as well as textbook readings. Therefore, we designed this section of the study guide using Fellowship exam strategy techniques to pare down what we believe to be the ket information into something much more manageable while still retaining key informational content.
The Detailed Summary sections summarize material from the module screens, online readings and textbook readings. While they were designed to SIGNIFICANTLY cut down the amount of note taking / exam preparation time, they still retain the necessary comprehension component of the Interim and Final Assessments’ objectives. However, even our Detailed Summary sections are still enormous. Compiling a comparable set of condensed, information-rich notes to be available as a reference guide while completing the Interim and Final Assessments would take the student a considerable amount of time to develop. This section of the study package will save the student a tremendous amount of time and energy while still retaining key syllabus content.
Compressed Summaries
These are uniquely organized, high-level summaries of information from the Detailed Summary sections consisting of the following sections:
Learning objectives
Definitions
Key concepts
These sections further compress the syllabus into an even more manageable size so that the student can read the material and reread the material prior to downloading the Interim and Final Assessments without over-burdening themselves.
We anticipate that this is the section the student will most often refer to when completing the Interim and Final Assessments. However, as you read the Compressed Summaries, we suggest you go back to the Detailed Summary sections when you come across an underlying concept that you do not understand. Like the Detailed Summary sections, the Compressed Summary sections will significantly cut down the amount of time and energy the student would spend drafting and organizing a comparable set of reference notes to be utilized while completing the Interim and Final Assessments. It has also been structured to help the student pass the Interim and Final Assessments on the first attempt.
Sample Interim Assessment
The study package includes a sample Interim Assessment. Our sample assessment questions were designed to draw out a deeper understanding of the material, cover a broad area of the material, and also show a step-by-step process that we would use for developing responses in the Interim Assessment.
Module slides
We strongly recommend that you go through the slides and use the guide at the same time. It would be in your best interest to read the slides and not skip them.
