I hate SOA for replacing exams by FAP. |

发帖数: 1582 | 3 You don't have to read the books if you think they are BS, just fly
through
the EOMs using AO discussion as a guide. The only part that actually
requires reading is IA, but it only takes 3-4 days to read through
the material.
Here is why I think FAP is better than exams:
- EOM, IA and FA are definitely more practical than preliminary exam
questions. Having work related experience might help you on those.
- The passing rate of IA, FA is definitely higher than prelims.
- You are not pressured.
- It is almost open book except for IA.
- It reduces travel time by allowing the students to fit it in between
two
exams.

They can just raise the exam fee if they want more money.

发帖数: 5023 | 6 Probably it is just me, but i happen to have reasons to have opposite
feelings
on the first 3 advantages you listed. :) no offense, totally individual
opinion.
See below.
.You don't have to read the books if you think they are BS, just fly
.through
.the EOMs using AO discussion as a guide. The only part that actually
.requires reading is IA, but it only takes 3-4 days to read through
.the material.
.Here is why I think FAP is better than exams:
.- EOM, IA and FA are definitely more practical than preliminary exam
.questions. Having work related experience might help you on those.
I don't feel my working experience helped my FAP or the other way
around. I
feel for the most part, they belong to different worlds. Especially
Module2.
.- The passing rate of IA, FA is definitely higher than prelims.
I actually think this is bad, making passing easier devalued this
credential.
.- You are not pressured.
I am pressured, because of my company. My company has this rule that i
have
to pass one milestone every 18 months or be fired. And one exam counts
as
one milestone, but Module 1-8 together counts as one milestone! It
usually
takes me 2 months to pass one exam, but Modules? definitely much much
longer! And don't forget the grading time
! So yes, i do have pressure.
.- It is almost open book except for IA.
.- It reduces travel time by allowing the students to fit it in between
.two
.exams.
I agree with the last two.

发帖数: 1582 | 13 其实这个也不一定是坏事，SOA把ASA的标准降低了，同时把FSA的标准提高 (3个upper)
，这样可以增加career ASA的比例，帮助FSA保值。

发帖数: 130 | 14 Hi, YRH "同时把FSA的标准提高 (3个upper)"
FSA has "3个upper"? Or 2? |
y*******5
发帖数: 5023 | 15 I believe YRH is right. SOA has announced that there will be pathway
changes on FSA starting July 2013. There will be 3 exams, 3 modules and
DMAC.
http://www.soa.org/education/general-info/edu-pathway-changes.a
I also think they should add working experience requirement like how CFA
does.

the change.
