SOA Preliminary Exam Study Guides

I have found that this company cuts out the bull, and makes studying for these crazy exams as straightforward as (possibly) can be. Here is the link: http://www.bpptraining.com/ . For each topic within an exam, you get a high level introductory online lecture, course notes that summarize everything on the syllabus, end of chapter textbook questions that are intentionally easy, an online multiple choice test with intermediate level questions, then a binder of old exam questions along with new exam style questions. The point is to start easy, then work your way up to exam style questions. They also provide a practice test that will be as close to mimicking a real exam as you can get. This is the deluxe study package, you can easily omit the lectures and online MC test (and additional flashcards) by purchasing the standard study package. I’ve compared this to ACTEX and other study programs, and I find this is by far the most helpful.
