After practicing problems for a while you can find yourself memorizing the numbers rather than understanding the steps. That's where BattleActs' web-based templates come in &mdash; we generate infinitely many versions of a problem so you focus on the steps involved.
 
−
 
 
−
Download the Excel file below to use with the web-based templates. In your browser, navigate to the list of web-based calculation problems you want to study ''(see link below)'' and then open the Excel file to the same problem. Highlight the problem in your browser and copy it before pasting using "Match Destination Formatting" into the highlighted cell within the spreadsheet. Voila! You can now solve the new version of the problem in Excel and then type your answer(s) into the browser to grade it. Repeat as many times as you want to practice the problem.

If you practice on the exact same exam problem several times, you can find yourself memorizing the numbers rather than understanding the steps. To address this, we've recreated many standard problems but with the facility to generate randomized input values. That way, you won't know the answer in advance.

[[BattleActs PowerPack - Temp]]

Latest revision as of 11:20, 24 March 2025

How to Use the PowerPack

Step 1. Build a solid understanding of how to solve exam problems

  • Our PDFs contain the core problems with step-by-step detailed solutions

Step 2. Drill to crush problems on exam day

  • Use our web-based templates to generate an infinite number of problems
  • With practice, you'll become more efficient and accurate on exam day

Step 3. Practice in an Excel/CBT like environment

  • We have a list of all the essential exam formulas from both reserving and pricing in one place

Step 4. More Practice

  • 4 original exams and past CAS exams are available.

Step 1.: Step-by-Step Solutions

Our PDFs contain the core problems and detailed step-by-step solutions in these 2 files.

Exam 5 One-stop PDF → RESERVING

Exam 5 One-stop PDF → PRICING

Step 2: Drill: Infinite Calculation Problems

If you practice on the exact same exam problem several times, you can find yourself memorizing the numbers rather than understanding the steps. To address this, we've recreated many standard problems but with the facility to generate randomized input values. That way, you won't know the answer in advance.

The link below takes you to a list of currently available infinite calculation problems. (Note that we develop new ones on an ongoing basis.) These problems are presented in a webpage but you can copy the input data from the web page and paste it into an Excel file. After you solve the problem in Excel, type or copy your answers back into the webpage to be scored by the computer.

Step 3: Practice in an Excel/CBT Environment

Reserving Problems (Excel Format)

These tables provide a listing of all the important types of problems from both reserving and pricing. If you can solve these problems, and have worked through the last several exams, you should be well prepared for anything that may come up.
