Welcome to Digital Actuarial Resources Homepage!

Digital Actuarial Resources publishes study materials for standardized actuarial exams.  We started with our "equation guides" which contain lists of the key equations featured on each exam.  Digital Actuarial Resources is expanding its range of products available.  We recently released a practice problem set for Exam 1 of the FAP modules.  This problem set contains 385 questions with a detailed solutions manual.  Read the news below for other products in development.

New Exam P Review Manual Just Released!

August 25th, 2010

We recently finished a review manual for the first exam in the SOA testing system. The book gives an in-depth review of all the probability concepts you need to know for the first test. It starts from the ground-up, covering set theory, discrete distributions, continuous distributions, multivariate distributions, and particular template distributions just to name a few topics. You can download a sample of the book on the product page. The full book is competitively priced.

DAR  Equation  Guides

The equation guides contain only the most important formulas that students must know to pass the tests.  These manuals are rather short and include no examples or proofs.  The guides do not attempt to teach students the material but simply offer an organized set of the formulas tested.  The brevity of the manuals makes them very affordable.  Shown below is an example of the "Exam P" Equation Guide:  

They serve as the ultimate reference manuals.  A student can quickly look up a formula rather than paging through several books to find it.  The guides also allow you to memorize the essential equations.  Most students compile a list of equations they need to know or at least take notes on the material.  These guides could save you dozens of hours per exam--time that you could better spend doing practice problems.

The equation lists are designed to complement your study plan.  These manuals assume you are familiar with the tested concepts.  Most of these tests require a number of text books, catalog-size study manuals, and other notes.  These guides condense all the material into just several dozen pages.

All the equation guides from Digital Actuarial Resources homepage come in PDF format.  After we receive your payment, we will e-mail you the study guide immediately.  You can then easily print the guides on your own computer.

If you pay via PayPal, you will receive your guides within 24 hours of payment!

Materials  Available

We are currently producing materials for only the SOA exams, 2005-2010 version.  While these resources are designed specifically for the tests through the Society of Actuaries, the guides could also aid in the preparation for the CAS tests.

Equation Guides for Exam P, Exam FM (or MF), Exam MLC, and Exam C are now available.  We are creating a guide for Exam MFE, which should be available by November 2010.  The Society of Actuaries recently split Exam M into Exams MLC and MFE.

Coming Soon...

The following items are in development and should be completed by the end of 2010:
