Description
The salient features of this book are: It is comprehensive. It contains everything you need to know to do well in Exam FM. Despite being comprehensive
...
, it does not contain anything beyond what you need for the exam. It breaks the official SOA syllabus into small portions, starts with short yet comprehensive lessons needed for each portion, provides detailed explanations for the relevant SOA sample problems, and includes quizzes (with detailed solutions) based on the topics covered in the lessons. At the end, I provide a comprehensive formula sheet for the entire course, 2 full-length practice exams containing fresh problems and detailed solutions to these practice exams. Altogether, the quizzes, exams, and examples in the lessons contain 158 fresh problems and their solutions, besides the explanations of the 462 SOA sample questions. It is concise and to the point. Despite being comprehensive, this book completely avoids all those details which may be good to know in general, but which are not needed for the exam. My explanations are mathematically rigorous and at the same time provide quick, efficient, and easily understandable solutions of problems. It provides clear and detailed explanations for each of the 462 SOA sample questions as well as the 158 fresh problems mentioned in point 1. The link for the SOA sample questions is: https://www.soa.org/4a5549/globalassets/assets/files/edu/2018/2018-10-exam-fm-sample-questions.pdf
So, all together, the book contains detailed solutions for almost 540 problems. The explanations provided for the official SOA problems synchronize with the videos of my YouTube channel titled: “Best Actuarial and Statistics Solutions”.

I am a tenured faculty of mathematics at University of Louisiana Monroe. I played a major role in starting the Actuarial Science concentration in our Mathematics program, and then in getting the SOA UCAP recognition for it. We offer year-long prep courses for Exam P and Exam FM, and I am the one who teaches both these sequences. The success rate in SOA Exams of students taking my courses has been extremely high. I am also the liaison between SOA and University of Louisiana Monroe. I have tried to capture all my successful experience and teaching techniques in this book.
