ACTEX Study Manual
The study manual (13th edition, Fall 2025) is part of a bundle of study materials for Exam PA:
The study manual (a.k.a. study guide):
Instructional videos: [SAMPLE] (Last updated: January 14, 2025; captions available on Actuarial University)
Graded mock exam (with 1:1 live feedback session as an add-on)
Note:
Usually coaches don't play, but as a study manual author, I took the initiative to write the December 2019 Exam PA and the February-April 2023 ATPA Assessment to experience first-hand what the real exams were like, despite having been an FSA since 2013 (and technically free from SOA exams thereafter!). I made this decision in the belief that teaching an exam and taking an exam are rather different activities, and braving the exam myself is the best way to ensure that my manual is indeed useful for exam preparation. I am thrilled that with the help of my own manual, I received Grade 10 in Exam PA and passed Exam ATPA, both on the first try.
If you use the ACTEX PA manual, you can rest assured that it is written from an exam taker's perspective by a professional instructor who has experienced the "pain" of (AT)PA candidates and truly understands their needs. Drawing upon his "real battle experience" and firm grasp of the exam topics, the author will go to great lengths to help you prepare for this challenging exam effectively and efficiently.
