UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
The purpose of the “Exams In Real Life” series is to share how content from CAS exams are used in the workplace today. In essence, we would like to supply a little motivation by answering “Why am I learning this stuff?” and “When am I ever going to use any of it?” If you have not already done so, please take a moment to read our prior articles. (See Exams IRL Archive below this article.)

It is a candidate’s worst nightmare. You walk out of the exam feeling uncertain about your performance. After the blackout period, you begin to discuss your answers with friends and colleagues. You realize that, on one particular high point-value question, everyone else has used a different approach and gotten a very different answer. Scores are released; your “5” is a disappointment, but you have to admit it is not a total surprise. You pore over the results of the Examiner’s Report as soon as it is released.
Join us for an in-depth exploration of bias and fairness in the insurance industry. Over five critical sessions, this event will explore recent regulatory developments as well as an array of tools to evaluate and address potential bias in insurance rating and other models. Please see the “Sessions” section below for session descriptions, learning objectives, and speaker biographies.

I bet the idea to take two exams during one sitting flits across the minds of most candidates at some point during their exam journey. It sounds so tempting to shave six months or more off of your ultimate travel time, but setting aside more hours to study than you already do for one exam is quite the deterrent. Most candidates tend to stick with one exam at a time, but some candidates attempt and pass two in one sitting.
“You are your own worst critic.” It’s likely you’ve been told this before. We’ve all been too tough on ourselves at some point. Maybe you thought that you aren’t smart enough, not experienced enough, or not capable enough for the situation you’ve found yourself in.

The Casualty Actuarial Society is again pleased to extend a peer-reviewed call for discussion papers on ratemaking topics. This call offers one-year and two-year cycles, demonstrating our efforts to improve the process for submitting and reviewing papers, giving authors enough time to explore topics and submit high-quality research.
