Exams & Admissions
CAS October/November 2024 Exam Registration is open!
Registration is now open for the October/November 2024 CAS Exam Sitting. The registration deadline is October 2, 2024 at 11:59 PM ET. For exam dates and additional information, visit the exam registration page.
Exam Dates
To help address concerns around study strategies and timing, the upcoming October/November sitting window has been extended as follows:
MAS I & MAS II – October 30, 2024 – November 12, 2024*
Exams 5, 6C, 6I, 6U, and 8 – October 23, 2024- November 5, 2024
*Some test centers may be closed on 11/11 for Veterans Day.
We understand that this does not fully address the shortened timeline before the exam window opens, however, this one-week extension seeks a balance between providing candidates additional time to study and the ability of CAS stakeholders to provide on-time results for the next sitting to prevent a “domino” effect of delay of future sittings.
