Innovative Products
RACE
RACE (Read, Assess, Choose, Evaluate) is an interactive product that we developed and initially released in the
summer of 2014 to train candidates on how best to answer CAS exam short answer questions. With the short answer
component on CAS exams accounting for no less than 35% of the points on exams 5, 7, 8, and 9 and no less than
65%-75% of the points on exam 6 preparing quality responses is an invaluable skill to master.
Candidates login to our e-Learning Center, download a series of actual CAS short answer questions, solve them on
their own, and then watch our problem solving videos to see how their solution matches with ours. These videos are
designed to train candidates to use an easily remembered (R.A.C.E.) step-by-step method to formulate consistently
strong responses for short answer questions. Repetitive drilling guarantees that the process itself becomes second
nature so that more time can be spent on identifying and recalling the concepts that are key to a high-point-scoring
response.
This past spring, we produced 12 videos for exam 5 covering 71 past CAS questions.
To learn more about RACE, go to http://www.all10.com/exam-5-2/exam-5-introductory-videos/, click on the words
R.A.C.E. in the lower left corner, and then click on the video.
e-Review
e-Review is also an interactive product that we developed and initially released in the fall of 2014 to provide a
comprehensive series of tests to candidates sitting for the fall exams. We developed 6 tests, covering subsections of
the syllabus readings, containing computational, short answer and a combination of the two for exams 5 through 9.
Candidates login to our e-Learning Center, download each test, solve them on their own, and then watch our
problem solving videos to see how their solution matches with ours. These tests are designed to mirror the rigor of
actual CAS exams, and help candidates to identify "what they do and do not know" weeks before the exam. Each
question is aligned with a specific CAS learning objective and knowledge statement.
This fall, you will have access to 20 videos for exam 5 covering 105 questions.

words e-Review Course in the lower left corner, and then click on the video.
Our exams
ALL 10’s exams are designed to give you the most comprehensive and exhaustive practice problem-solving questions
of any preparatory program. Here’s why:

Each exam covers a different subset of syllabus readings. This makes preparing for these exams a manageable
undertaking. Each exam identifies which articles are being covered, so you know in advance what articles to study
before taking the tests.

Since you have them at your disposal throughout the course, you can take them whenever you are ready.

These exams provide you with more questions from a small subset of the syllabus readings so that you can better
gauge your understanding of a given set of syllabus readings.

Our exams offer multiple questions for each syllabus reading. Practice exams that mirror actual CAS exams will only
have 0, 1 or 2 questions from each syllabus reading, and thus do not provide you with enough questions to gauge
your understanding of the readings.

The recommended time to complete each exam is 4 hours. Exposure to these types of questions and solutions
provides you with a good indication of what your strengths are and where your weaknesses lie, weeks before the Fall
2015 CAS Exam.
