By Beth E. Fitzgerald, FCAS Under the new examination structure, CAS Exams 5-9 are all four-hour exams. A candidate may ask the
question "How can one four-hour exam cover all the readings on the syllabus?" The CAS Examination Committee
addresses this question as it prepares every exam. The Examination Committee is responsible for creating exams that
follow the guidelines set forth by the CAS Syllabus Committee. Complete coverage of all readings on the syllabus is
not practical for every exam every year. The goal is to produce exams that contain representative, high-quality
questions that test candidates' knowledge of the syllabus material. Thus, the candidate should expect that each exam
will cover a large proportion of the syllabus readings and that all readings will be tested at least once over the course of
a few years.
