The project, which was created by a team of experienced actuaries who specialize in predictive analytics in partnership with Pearson VUE and The Institutes, utilizes innovative predictive modeling techniques to help candidates and professionals in the actuarial field to gain a deeper understanding of key concepts and improve their predictive capabilities.

The $300 exam registration fee applies for each exam attempt. There is a mandatory two-week waiting period between exam attempts (candidates may register and schedule during this waiting period but will not be able to take their exam until the two weeks have passed).

If the candidate does not pass the project they may register again for the project. The $700 project registration fee applies for each project attempt. If the candidate does not complete or pass the project within one year from the date of their passing PCPA Exam sitting, they will need to retake and pass the exam again before (re)registering for the project.
