Chauncey Project To Improve Admission Processes
In November 1999, the CAS Task Force on the Review of Education and Examination Process and Procedures issued its final report on the admissions process that included a recommendation to seek assistance from professional consultants to assist in improving the education and examination processes. In fall 2000, the CAS chose The Chauncey Group International, a subsidiary of Educational Testing Services to assist in the improvement initiative. In spring 2001, consultants from The Chauncey Group compared the CAS
admissions process to their standards for professional education programs.
Learning Objectives Help to Focus Study by Erica W. Szeto, ACAS, Candidate Liaison Committee Have you ever read an article on an exam syllabus and then asked yourself (or perhaps
an enlightened peer), "What is the purpose of this paper? Why is this even on the syllabus?" What used to be left to educated guessing on the candidate's part, is now made explicit in an update to the Fall 2003 exam syllabus, released by the Casualty Actuarial Society in late June 2003.
