I envy the candidates who pass all their exams on the first try, but I know plenty of candidates who inconsistently pass exams on the second, third, or eighth attempt. At the same time there are students who will earn their initial designations in their early 20s, late 20s, 30s or 40s, and possibly later.
Much progress has been made since the evolving Volunteer-Staff Framework (VSF) was introduced, and with the evolution continuing into 2022, I’m excited to provide an update to the membership on the latest developments.
ARECA is pleased to announce the 2021/22 scholarship competition for current undergraduate students in the Asia Pacific region who are interested in pursuing the actuarial profession.

This is the first article in an occasional series profiling either a credentialed actuary or a CAS staff member. Our inaugural article does both as I interviewed Mallika Bender, FCAS and CAS Staff Actuary for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Laura Hemmer: Hi, Mallika, and thanks for joining me. First things first: How did you first become interested in being an actuary?
The year 2020 was a watershed year for CAS candidates. In terms of exams, the Spring Exam sitting was cancelled, the CAS moved all exams to a computer-based testing (CBT) format, and the CAS decided to no longer release the exams after the sitting. We’ve all had to adjust, adapt and accept these changes. Therefore, with two sittings of CBT exams under our collective belts and a third sitting coming up, we have some CBT study tips!
We’ve narrowed down our tips to two major themes after reflecting our own experiences and speaking with other candidates:
