Introduction

Exam 5 consists primarily of 2 source texts covering Reserving (Estimating Unpaid Claims), and Pricing:

  • Estimating Unpaid Claims Using Basic Techniques, Friedland, J.F., , Casualty Actuarial Society, Third Version, July 2010.
  • BASIC RATEMAKING, Fifth Edition, May 2016, Geoff Werner, FCAS, MAAA & Claudine Modlin, FCAS, MAAA

There are also several much shorter readings including: SOPs (Statements of Principle), ASOPs (Actuarial Standards of Practice), and appendices from Werner & Modlin. The Rank in the tables below indicates how frequently each topic has been asked on prior exams.

  • "Top 5" chapters are the most heavily tested. "Top 5" and "Core Content" chapters together account for about 80% of the points on the exam.
  • "Bottom 20%" and "Rarely Tested" chapters together for about 20% of the points on the exam. "Rarely Tested" chapters appear rarely (or never) on the exam.

Click on the links in the table below to go to specific chapters. You can start with either Reserving or Pricing but you should do the chapters in order because later chapters depend on material from earlier chapters. When you want a change of pace, pick up one of the shorter readings for a break. Make sure you know all of the Top 5 and Core Content material really well.

Note: Alice-the-Actuary  and her minion Ian-the-Intern will appear from time to time to help you out. :-)
