Candidates taking the upper-level exams often find challenges different from those of the preliminary exams.

You asked about the lined paper three sittings in a row, but nothing ever seems to change! Is anyone even reading these?
Volunteers, volunteers, volunteers! You've probably heard Future Fellows and other CAS communications talking about the critical role of volunteers in the examination process. In honor of National Volunteer Week, the CAS published an infographic in April showing that nearly 1,000 Fellows volunteer as part of the examination process. So Future Fellows decided to take a moment to focus on the work of the volunteers in the Syllabus & Examination Committee who help to write the exams.
So, you're about to take your first CAS exam. Congrats! Now what? How are CAS exams different than the preliminary exams?

Here is some guidance for new CAS exam-takers, as well as a refresher for those who have already taken CAS exams.
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.
