Changes in Preliminary ExamsHowever, in 2013, both the SOA and CAS have decided to make certain changes about the exam policies, all of which are concerned with the Life Contingencies Exams: Life Contingencies Exam (called MLC) for the SOA, and Life Contingencies and Statistics Exam (called 3L) for the CAS.
The SOA has announced that starting in Spring 2014, Exam MLC will change from a solely multiple-choice based exam into one with both multiple choice questions and essay questions. The change is due to the fact that under the development of the syllabus and coverage of the exam, strict multiple-choice questions, SOA administration believes, are not sufficient or adequate to test whether the candidates are familiar and fluent in the material. Also, because of the addition of written-answer questions, the length of the exam has been extended from three hours to four hours. The breakdown will be approximately 4 to 6: 40% multiple choice questions, and 60% written questions. This breakdown, according to the announcement published by the SOA, also applies to the points distributed to these two parts, as well as the time one candidate should spend on each of them. During the new four-hour exam, candidates can freely allocate their time to the two different parts of the exam; there will not be any time limit except for the four-hour total length. The SOA has also stated that the multiple choice questions in the new test form will be easier and thus require less time allocation than the current multiple choice questions so that candidates will have sufficient time to write the written responses. The grade policy has been changed a little as well. The multiple choice part and the written answer will be graded separately. Only candidates who have answered a certain percentage of the multiple-choice questions correctly will have their written answers graded. The final results will be based on the total score the candidate gets.
The CAS also made changes to its Life Contingencies Exam. Effective from January 1, 2014, the CAS will split the Exam 3L into two separate exams: Exam 3LC and 3ST. The materials about survival model and life contingencies will be covered in 3LC, while statistics and stochastic processes parts will be the contents of 3ST. According to the CAS website, it will continue to allow the SOA Exam MLC to be an acceptable substitute for Exam 3LC, but all candidates must also take 3ST. Candidates who have passed either CAS Exam 3L or SOA Exam MLC before January 1, 2014, will be granted credits for both 3LC and 3ST.”
