For those taking exams, don't miss this important announcement from the CAS regarding the posting of passing candidate numbers.
Here's the gist:
-To keep candidates from crashing the site, passing candidate numbers will posted at a random location.
-When the list is posted, the CAS will email candidates a link to the page. There is no set time frame for this email.
-After a few days, the link will be posted on the CAS website.
Candidates, be sure your email address is current with the CAS or you will not receive the link to your exam results. If you forget to do this, though, my guess is you will find the link on Actuarial Outpost quite quickly.
No doubt this new system will be a bit more stressful for candidates, but the CAS wants to avoid the site crashes it always experiences due to too many candidates hitting F5 all day. This way we won't be able to guess the link based on the link to prior results and spend two weeks hanging on that page, stressing out the servers. Instead we'll hang out in our Gmail inboxes, which Google's servers will hardly even notice.
Although we're losing that magical 3-3:30pm window, Steve Armstrong and the Exam Committee remain committed to keeping candidates informed. You can expect to see Steve on Actuarial Outpost, continuing the tradition started last exam sitting of appraising candidates of the anticipated release date on the sub-fora for each exam.
As always, you're welcome to send feedback to your friendly, neighborhood Candidate Liaison Committee member (that's me!)
