Thank you so much for all the great tools. I wouldn't have passed without them. I would highly recommend your program and plan to purchase the FM/2 materials in the near future.
-Brian - P/1 eCourse - May 2012


I thought this eCourse was excellent in preparation for the Exam FM/2.
-FM/2 eCourse survey - February 2012


The eCourse is an invaluable study guide. I would not have passed on my first attempt without it.
-FM/2 eCourse survey - February 2012


I thought this eCourse was excellent in preparation for the Exam FM/2.
-FM/2 eCourse survey - February 2012


The eCourse is both instructional and motivational, and helped to keep me focused and ultimately able to pass one of the harder exams. Thanks!
-C/4 eCourse survey - February 2012


My biggest concern going into taking the exam was not knowing how to study for the exam. CoachingActuaries study materials and ADAPT exams took care of that concern. I completed the exam with 40 minutes left to review and check my answers.
-P/1 eCourse survey - November 2011


I have always been good at math, but I have not taken a class since my Freshman year of college. There is no way that I could have passed the P/1 exam on my first try without the eCourse. I helped me organize the material and move through it quickly. I was able to advance to more challenging material at my own pace. I will definitely use Coaching Actuaries again in the future.
-P/1 eCourse survey - November 2011


Simply put, I would not have passed without CoachingActuaries. I have not yet completed my Statistics and Probability course in college (I am currently in it) and this eCourse gave me the repetitions that I needed and the ability to learn concepts that I had not covered yet. I easily spent 50 hours in the last 30 days taking practice exams through this eCourse and that is why I passed.
-P/1 eCourse survey - November 2011


eCourse is an excellent tool and helped me pass on my first attempt. I highly recommend it to any planning to take the exam.
-P/1 eCourse survey - November 2011


It was a big help and I'd never have been able to pass without it.
-P/1 eCourse survey - November 2011


I've used Coaching Actuaries for 3 exams now, and this is my preferred resource for exam preparation. Thanks for putting these courses together so thoughtfully.
-MFE/3F eCourse survey - November 2011


It's great to see an author who not only writes the text and helps create an awesome study tool, but also takes the time to answer your questions. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone, and plan to purchase it for future exams as well.
-MFE/3F eCourse survey - November 2011


I felt the eCourse was a great resource in preparing for the exam. Having the author of the manual leading the video lectures was also helpful as it was the same "language". The most useful part of the eCourse was the ADAPT system. I spent the majority of the last month prior to the exam just drilling questions. I felt the way the questions were presented really prepared me for the exam.
-MFE/3F eCourse survey - November 2011


I am very visual learner and found it very helpful to see how the problems were solved; I found the mnemonic devices introduced to be very helpful in understanding and organization key concepts; also the style and pace of instruction to be very student-friendly.
-FM/2 eCourse survey - October 2011


This eCourse is one of the best investments an aspiring actuary can make--especially those a few years removed from college or those looking for a career change. They offer all the materials and support needed to pass P/1--it's just up to you to put in the hours!
-P/1 eCourse survey - September 2011


Thanks a ton for the e-course. I just finished up the exam and got a preliminary pass. After taking the mock exams on the site here, I was worried that the exam would be just as tough, but the amount of studying and prepwork that I put in really helped me. The entire course helped, from the video/reading lectures to the ADAPT program to the mock exams. Wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys. Thanks again, I'll definitely look here first when I take P in the fall.
-Nick - FM/2 eCourse


I knew nothing of Financial Mathematics when I began this course. I just passed exam FM and guessed on only one of the questions. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence and knowledge to master the material in this exam!
-FM/2 eCourse survey - June 2011


After I failed the FM exam the first time, I wasn't sure where to start studying again. The manual in the ecourse and the ADAPT program gave me a clear-cut path to get back up to speed and pass the exam.
-FM/2 eCourse survey - June 2011


I found the practice exams very helpful in my preparation for taking the actual exams.
-P/1 eCourse survey - June 2011


Work hard and practice. That is the advice I was given and their really isn't an easier way to do it. ADAPT is to Actuarial Science what Rosetta Stone is to learning a language.
-FM/2 eCourse survey - February 2011


This ASM/ADAPT ecourse is the best study tool I have seen so far for preparing for the SOA Exam C.
-C/4 eCourse survey - February 2011


This is a terrific course. The manual progresses thoughtfully through the material and is well written. The videos are insightful and fun. Clearly, the people who have put together this class have done so with great care and with the clear purpose of teaching students well. Thanks for helping me pass the FM/2 exam on the first try!
-FM/2 eCourse survey - February 2011


Useful in its coverage of material as well as community support
- FM/2 eCourse survey - February 2011


I just want to say that Coaching Actuaries was a HUGE help in achieving my passing score for Exam P/1. I have failed this exam 3 times. Going in to my fourth try, I was ready to give up. I was trying anything to pass. I used Coaching Actuaries every single day for almost 3 months, and I passed my exam a few days ago. I don't know what I would have done if I did not find out about this. It really made the difference. I definitely plan on using Coaching Actuaries again for other exams!!!
- Tracy - May 2012


I just wanted to say thank you, this is a great service. I failed my first attempt with Exam P, but I passed it with ease the second time and only two weeks of studying Coaching Actuaries is what did it. So thank you so much I will definitely be using you for my FM Exam.
- Christopher - May 2012


I failed my first attempt of 1/P with a 4. I understood the concepts, but the practice exams I was doing were either too easy or too hard. ADAPT did a great job of building confidence while giving you a great understanding of basic concepts at the earlier level. I reached an earned level of 6.89 and felt extremely confident going into exam day. The best part is, I passed!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


I passed Exam P in large part because of ADAPT. Practicing in Adapt, getting scored, and improving my earned level was more fun than doing practice exams on paper. Additionally, it taught me to speed up and work on a timer, and it helped me get used to the computer interface. The mock exam was also very helpful, and the real exam seemed easy after the kinds of questions I was solving on ADAPT.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


Before using ADAPT, I had taken exam P/1 twice and made a 3 both times. ADAPT's huge supply of practice questions allowed me to target my weaknesses and pass my exam with confidence!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


The ADAPT system goes a long way towards making you feel ready for the upcoming exam.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


To pass an actuarial exam you must be exposed to a lot of practice problems. ADAPT has this and the added benefit of administering it in an exam like setting. Dustin
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


Adapt is the most comprehensive tool for studying for actuary tests available. In my opinion, it is the most efficient way anyone could study for any of the preliminary tests.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


ADAPT was the best method for preparing for the exam. ADAPT was more useful than prep classes and all of the manuals I tried. I strongly believe that ADAPT was the biggest factor in my success on the exam.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


Despite not having the strong mathematics background that most actuarial candidates posses, Adapt helped provide the edge I needed to successfully complete exam P/1.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


The number one factor in passing any type of exam is problem familiarization/experience. You can have all of the knowledge in the world as well as have mastered all of the shortcuts or tricks. However, if you don't have experience with seeing a problem and immediately recognizing how to even start solving it, then you are lost. ADAPT allows you to enlarge your problem familiarization "bank," in order to dramatically increase your chances of passing EXAM P/1. I have already signed up for EXAM FM/2.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


PURE SEXY :D
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


Get the better deal. It's definitely worth the money to use ADAPT.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


I passed Exam P in large part because of ADAPT. Practicing in Adapt, getting scored, and improving my earned level was more fun than doing practice exams on paper. Additionally, it taught me to speed up and work on a timer, and it helped me get used to the computer interface. The mock exam was also very helpful, and the real exam seemed easy after the kinds of questions I was solving on ADAPT.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


ADAPT gave me the confidence I needed on test day.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


I took P/1 twice before and I didn't pass and coaching actuaries really made the difference.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


ADAPT was amazing study experience. I really couldn't pass without ADAPT. It's very good simulation for the actual exam. I felt powerful and confident in the exam. If any one want to pass, then study hard and practice exams using ADAPT.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


After failing FM the first time, then passing the second with the use of ADAPT, I know I'll be using ADAPT for all my future exams that I can. You can't beat studying on a computer for a computer-based test.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


I have tried many websites for my P exam and found Adapt to be my most usefull tool in helping me pass my exam.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


I love ADAPT as a supplementary product.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


ADAPT was extremely useful because it provides practice tests that are like the real exam. I wouldn't have passed P/1 without using ADAPT
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


I really like the "earned level" feature. It really helps relieve my stress.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


Adapt made me feel confident when I walked into the examination room.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


Outstanding. plan to use it again for future exams. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard and getting nowhere is of little use.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - January 2012


One week ago today I passed my first actuarial exam (SOA Exam P). This was my fifth attempt! What made the difference for me not failing this time around was the ADAPT software. I used it close to everyday for two months in preparation for this test and it was awesome. The practice exam questions were very similar to what I was tested on and I was familiar with every type of problem. I liked how the product gave suggested topic quizzes after each practice exam if I struggled with a certain type of problem. This really helped me see which areas I was weak in so I knew to devote more time to getting better at those type of problems. I would recommend ADAPT to anyone studying for an actuarial exam. Best study material I've had yet!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


ADAPT showed me my weak points, worked on those with me through a vast array of questions and in depth answers on them and gave me the confidence to answer similar questions in an exam situation
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


Adapt was GREAT! The earned level system created exams based on my skill level and helped build my confidence, which definitely contributed to my success with exam p. My earned level of 7 proved to be sufficient to pass exam p with time remaining to look over questions.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


ADAPT is an amazing and nifty study tool that will lead you directly to success!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


ADAPT is a wonderful tool to access what areas you are strong in, and what areas need more work. The provided solutions really help to see the most efficient way to solve problems, and also show that there is more than one way to reach the correct solution. I would highly recommend this a learning tool.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


I wasn't a math major and I've been out of school for 7 years. However, with the help of ADAPT and long study days I was successful on my exam!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


ADAPT helped me pass P and FM on the first try. The only thing I can say about it is that it works!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


ADAPT is a great program that helped me feel prepared going into exam.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


ADAPT is the perfect study tool. I would not have passed Exam P/1 without it.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - November 2011


ADAPT's question bank and explanations were 10x more useful for me than try to learn from bulky manuals with a fewer, set number questions. Being able to have so many practice problems was key to my success.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - September 2011


I used Adapt to pass FM and I'm currently using it for P. The forum support and software staff are absolutely amazing, and this tool is a must-have. You would be silly to take an exam without it!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - September 2011


After failing Exam P/1 the first time, I used ADAPT to help me prepare for taking it again. The earned level system helped me to see exactly where I stood. It also gave me confidence every time my level increased. They also tell you what topics you're getting wrong the most, which really helped me to focus my studying. It all worked because I passed! I will be using ADAPT again for my future tests and I would recommend it to anyone.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - September 2011


I have used ADAPT two times so far and have been successful in passing Exams FM and P. I would recommend it to any Actuaries who are serious about passing exams!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - September 2011


ADAPT gave me the extra confidence I needed to pass this exam. Taking multiple exams under strict exam conditions improved and gave me the confidence that come exam day I knew with out a doubt i would finish with plenty time to go over any questions I missed if need be. The test bank is extremely large and it definitely provided me with plenty questions and great solutions. I will definitely be using ADAPT for my next actuarial exam. Choosing ADAPT to study for exam P/1 was a great choice for me.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - September 2011


Adapt was easily the reason my second attempt at P didn't turn into a third.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - July 2011


Adapt is a great tool for that final preparation for your Exam that could be the difference between getting the 6 over the dreaded 5.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - July 2011


It is very difficult to know where you weaknesses are without this program. The cumulative exam results clearly show you where you need to improve so that you don't have to waste time reviewing what you already know.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - July 2011


Even though I did not pass the first time I would use Adapt again. It provides practice questions at your current level and moves you to another level when you are ready. You get instant feed back and a variety of features to generate and focus your practice.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - July 2011


For a student like me who had already studied quite a bit for the exam, ADAPT provided me with the final bit of confidence I needed going into the exam. It gave me valuable practice with a large problem bank that other practice methods lack. It is likely I would not have passed my exam without ADAPT and I plan on using it for future exams.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - July 2011


ADAPT helped me gain the mental toughness and skillset needed to power through the stress and anxiety that sitting through the P/1 exam provokes. It really made the difference between me passing and failing and I will definitely be using it for FM/2. The small price you pay for ADAPT will save you the money you'd spend on retesting!
- ADAPT P/1 survey - July 2011


I tell everyone in my classes to get ADAPT. I think it's a fantastic product.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - March 2011


Clear explanation of the scoring system and increasingly challenging problems help to build the confidence you need to pass the P/1 exam.
- ADAPT P/1 survey - March 2011


Dear Coaching Actuaries, I signed up for ADAPT 15 days ago. I worked on the problems, but never felt I was getting the hang of it. Regardless, this morning I took the 1/P exam..and I PASSED!!!!!!! THe question bank was PERFECT for what was on the exam. Thank you very much.
- Ken Adler


Just wanted to send out the news that I passed exam P! and that ADAPT was a tremendous help.
- Adam Phillips


I passed exam P yesterday! Thank you very much for making this great resource available. I felt very comfortable on exam day; I answered 24 questions confidently, made educated guesses on 3, and blindly guessed on the other 3. I look forward to working with your FM product when it becomes available. Thank you for helping me take the first step toward a rewarding new career!
Update: ADAPT has come through for me again! I passed FM this morning on my first attempt. I am a happy repeat customer, having used ADAPT to pass exam P back in July. Thanks for producing such a fine product.
- Jim Whiteaker


Just wanted to thank you guys as it truly helped me to prepare for the p/1 exam. In addition to helping me out with solving skills, the program provided me with valuable test like environment, so by the time I took the examination, I was completely familiar with the environment and I did not feel any pressure. I have passed the exam.
- Kirill Mirochkhin


I just finished with my exam p literally about 2 hours ago. This was my fourth try taking this exam, needless to say I was on the verge of giving up. I just found out about your program one month ago and started using it for preparation for this exam. I wanted to let you know I was given the preliminary congrats that I passed. I was and am still extremely excited about the news. I appreciate this program and will use it for future exams.
- Henry Speckhart


I wanted to say thanks for this program. I truly believed it exposed me to the problems necessary to pass exam p. I had previously taken the exam three times and never really could put forth the time to study. This forced me to sit down and do 30 questions. It helped a lot showing me which topics I was struggling with and I sought out help from professors on those topics. Once again, thanks!
- Nick


I'm seeking to become an actuary after 11 years as a high school math teacher. I received a preliminary passing score on Exam P last weekend; absolutely couldn't have done it without ADAPT. Your solutions and explanations were complete and precise; I never even had to dig up my probability/stats college textbook!
- Zeke Moore


The ADAPT software is an outstanding complement to the Financial Math course that I teach. I advise my students to attain Level 7 and then work as many problems as they can at that level. Students rave about how effective the ADAPT software is at preparing them for the actuarial exams. I know of no student who has attained Level 7 and then failed the exam.
- James Trimble, Director of the Actuarial Science Program, UConn


Thank you Coaching Actuaries/ADAPT! I have been able to pass exam P and FM on the first try because of your spectacular program! I WILL DEFINITELY be seeing you guys again for MFE!
- Brandon Barker, April 2012


I was so impressed with ADAPT that I would like to keep it as my little secret to give me the upper-hand. With that being said, stay away from this product! ;)
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT made me feel more confident during the exam because I had already seen or solved the same type of questions while practicing with ADAPT.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT was extremely helpful in preparing me for Exam FM/2. I only wish I would have used it to prepare for Exam P/1 as well! The earned level feature really gives you a goal to shoot for. If you reach a high earned level of say a 6 or 7 then you can feel extremely confident going into exam day. Also, by showing you what problems you need to work on ADAPT makes sure you are allocating your study time in the most efficient way.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I failed Exam FM twice. However, after using ADAPT for additional practice, I became familiar with the exam questions and pass the exam on my third try.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT is the best way to prepare for an exam, with adapt you already know if you are going to pass or fail your exam before the exam date
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT has the questions most directly similar to the actual exam of any source. If you can get even a 5 on ADAPT you should pass.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


Great product. The best way to know before the exam whether you will pass or not (based on score). Would recommend it.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I failed FM on first try. I needed a huge bank of problems to do as much of practice exam. I've earn a level of 7,4 and the real exam was a piece of cake after earning this level.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I sat for FM in December and got a 5 barely knowing the derivatives portion of the exam. ADAPT helped me to become more comfortable with these, as well as the more difficult interest theory problems. I worked up to a level 8... knew how to do most of the problems on my second sitting and passed.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT was exactly what I needed in my last week of study. I was bored with the material, and tired of digging through my manual for sections that I might have glanced over. ADAPT instantly made things interesting again, and made me confident that I had not neglected to study any aspect of the exam.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


Woooooooooooooooooo! I passed
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT helped me prepare for exam conditions, that used to be my number one problem, but I'm glad now that there is a tool out there that truly mimics the CBT exams.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I was very confident going into the exam. The first time I took an Adapt exam at my adjusted earned level, I only got 21 questions,... by the time I took my last (before the exam), I got 32. Simply put, Adapt works.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I just passed both SOA Exam P and FM in the past 3 months and ADAPT is a big reason why. ADAPT forces you to get better at topics that you struggle with by including more of those types of problems in your practice exams. The Coach gives you recommended topic quizzes as well so you know which topics to work on. I will definitely be using ADAPT for future exams and recommend it to all.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I am so happy I purchased ADAPT, it made the real exam seems so easy though I only had an earned level of 6.04. I would definitely recommend ADAPT if you want to be more confident and make sure you will pass the real exam.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT is as close as you can get to simulating the exam experience. Come exam day, you will be more than prepared and less nervous!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


Passed P/1 using Adapt and decided to use it again for FM/2. Two months later I passed FM/2 and will bein using it again for MFE/3F!!!!!!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


A two month subscription to ADAPT helped me pass FM on the first try. I previously had a course covering the material, but ADAPT gave me the additional tools and confidence I needed to be successful.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I reccommend this product wholeheartedly. It far more helpful than any textbook at knowing whether you are ready for the exam!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT is fantastic. I would not have passed Exam FM/2 if I had not used it. I would highly recommend ADAPT to anyone preparing to take a Actuarial exam.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


A superior product every serious candidate should use.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I think ADAPT is a fantastic tool. The more time you have to use it the better off you are for passing the real exam.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT is a great study tool. I used if for both exam P1 and FM2, I passed both exams on my first try! Using ADAPT I knew exactly what the testing environment was going to be like and I knew I could handle the problems.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


ADAPT is the reason I passed FM/2. With so many practice exams available, I was able to prepare to the max. In fact, after passing, I almost feel as if I was too prepared. Will definitely use again!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


I highly recommend anyone considering ADAPT give it a try. I would be surprised if anyone didn't find it useful.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - February 2012


Average cost of Exam Prep courses: $1000
Average cost of Exam Materials: $150
Cost of Sitting for an Exam: $200
Cost of being completely prepared on exam Day: Priceless!
Thank you ADAPT!!!! I just passed FM! It would not have been doable without this program.
- Matthew Emery - February 2012


The ADAPT system is great deal. It prepares you thoroughly for the exam. With confidence comes a price, and that is what you are precisely paying for. I was very confident that I will pass the exam after using ADAPT. Many thanks to the founder of ADAPT.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


I would definitely recommend the product for the efficient problem drilling, the ability to see your weak areas, isolate them, and work on them, and getting use to taking the CBT test.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


ADAPT was the key to my exam success. Putting yourself under exam conditions is really the only way to know if you are ready for exam day. After taking a few practice exams at an earned level above 7 the actual SOA exam seemed very straight forward.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


Adapt costumer service was the best costumer service I have ever encountered. I emailed them with a question or concern and would get an effective reply within an hour. Amazing! Plus the tests and prep was effective and valuable!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


ADAPT was a great preparation for my exam. I could follow my evolution with the "current level" and take topic quiz on sections that were hard for me. It was really helpful!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


VERY thorough preparation; thanks for helping me pass!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


I think ADAPT has a great question bank for FM/2 and will definitely purchase again.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


I got a 5 on my two previous attempts at FM, with ADAPT's help I was finally able to pass.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


I've tried the study manuals, but coaching actuaries was very helping in passing my exam and the topic quizzes and video solutions were great!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


As an Actuary, I am expected to give wise advice on investments. For any actuarial student, ADAPT is as wise of an investment one can make.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


Is fantastic the way Adapt can lead you to fully understand the questions that soa requiere you to know . It is really the Rosetta Stone of Actuarial Education processes
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


Adapt was a strong study tool. The video solutions provide the insight of a professor right from you laptop.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


I failed FM once & if not for Adapt's mock exam i would probably fail again for the second time.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - December 2011


I highly recommend ADAPT to anyone willing to put in the work to pass the FM/2 Exam.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


I used ADAPT practice exams and it really helped me pass the FM (2nd try). The mock exams help get rid of test anxiety since they feel like the real thing and the scoring will let you know what areas you need help in the most.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


I would recommend ADAPT mostly for students who have thoroughly read through all of the exam material worked through many problems but failed on their first real exam experience. ADAPT provides a realistic timed-exam
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


experience that is exactly like the real exam that will prepare students so that they pass the next time ADAPT's instructional methods fine-tuned concepts for me and ultimately led to me passing my exam.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


This was my sixth attempt at FM, and I own just about every textbook you could use to study from. After two 4's and three 5's I had to find another way to study. Enter ADAPT. This is the absolute best way to study for an exam! I rocked that exam this time because of this site. Thanks so much and I will definitely be coming back for the next exam!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


ADAPT has been a great confidence booster for me. The highest scores that I have received have been under the tutelage of the ADAPT coaches and their brilliant testing system. Thank you ADAPT!
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


Solving the toughest questions in the format and style of the test you will be taking is the best way to study. I felt more than prepared after using ADAPT. Thanks! I'll be buying MFE / 3 soon next year.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


ADAPT helped me not only prepare for the exam but it gave me confidence in passing it. I will register for next sitting exam (C/4)
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


Great tool to prepare yourself with practice problems that are like the real exam experience. I am going to use ADAPT for every test from here on out.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


By the time I reached test-day I was amazed how easy it felt. ADAPT ramped up the difficulty and provided so many questions, I was well prepared on every topic.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


In my opinion using ADAPT for exam P and FM was the best option for me. I have a hard time just staring at a manual so using the software helped to keep me focused longer resulting in more productive studying.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


It is useful even if you already know the material because the exam questions are based on very little time and you have to get the practice to deal with them quickly.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


Adapt is a very useful study tool. It allows you to rank yourself on how much you know, similarly to what you would score on the actual exam. I have used adapt for P and FM and both of my earned ranks were close to my grade for these exams. It also allows you to start off easy and increases your level when you start to understand the material.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - October 2011


I found the ADAPT software to be revolutionary. It provides statistical analysis of your abilities to solve problems and lets you hone in on what you need to work on. Definitely a key factor in allowing me to pass Exam FM - Garrett H, NJ
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


ADAPT provided a great question bank that increased in difficulty when I was ready. It was a great software to use.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


I used it for exam P and exam Fm. I was so used to the questions on the exam and I finished and best of all I had almost 45 minutes to review in each exam. I also passed on first try with adapt. Therefore, you can't go wrong with adapt.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


I passed FM last week and would have not been able to achieve this success without Adapt. The Adapt practice tests and the CBT testing conditions and environment phenomenally transformed my preparation skills. I intend to take ADAPT course for MFE.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


Of the various resources I used to study for FM/2, ADAPT was the most instrumental in helping me pass. I'll be using it again for MFE/3F.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


ADAPT has been very helpful. I've used in on P and FM and passed both in the last year. me the support I needed to fully understand all the topics. It's a great product and I will use it for my future exams.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


I'm a self taught Actuarial candidate. Teaching yourself complex mathematics is difficult, but Adapt provided.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


Honestly ADAPT really supported and helped me to understand the material and gave me to confidence to pass my exam. I will definitely be using it again.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


I took FM on June 14, 2011 and I passed. I had a 30 day subscription to ADAPT and only got to level 5.87, but the diversity of your questions really covered the spectrum of the syllabus. Adapt helped me build my confidence and made me feel really comfortable sitting for the exam. I will definitely be purchasing a subscription for Exam P. Thanks again. Yisrael from Temple University

ADAPT gave me hundreds of quality questions that helped me learn the material needed to pass the exam. Also, after doing well on some of ADAPT's practice exams, it gave me confidence that I would do well on the actual exam. I would recommend ADAPT to anyone who is preparing for an Actuarial Exam.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


ADAPT was extremely useful and far superior to textbook preperation. I will definitely use it for my future exams.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


I used ADAPT for 20 days before the FM exam after a college course and it prepared me very well for the exam. I thought the actual exam was easy compared to some of the practice exams I went through with ADAPT.
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


ADAPT has been very helpful. I've used in on P and FM and passed both in the last year. exams on the first try. Adapt definitely works...
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


Ever since I failed my first actuary exam P, I register with adapt and I have been able to pass my other exams.

Adapt is indispensable in preparing for the FM exam
- ADAPT FM/2 survey - June 2011


Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your software. I was able to score a 10 on my FM exam! Of course I am very excited to see you are adding MFE, MLC, and C adapt [questions]. Thanks again!
- Sheila


Hi Dave! I'm happy to report that I passed the FM/2! ADAPT was a huge help and I wanted to send my thanks to you and everyone, especially those who contributed to the discussions (I don't remember everyone's name, but Nicholas and Seth immediately come to mind due to their frequent, helpful posts). Now...a brief break before proceeding to the MFE...
- Mike B


I wanted to let you know that I passed FM today. I am truly grateful for your assistance and responses to all of my posts on this site. The adapt program, as well as your coaching, were really what made the difference. This is the second time I wrote the exam, and I felt much more prepared and confident this time. Thank you!
You will probably be seeing me of my on the next exam's blog (MFE, I believe).
- Tali999


A thousand times thanks. Thanks for believing in me and for replying to my silly questions. It's so rewarding to start reading your analization post actuarial exam with the following word:
CONGRATULATIONS!
PS: i wish the same for everyone!
MFE here i come!
- Robert Life


Just passed Exam FM/2 today, and while I know it was my own hard work that earned me a passing score, ADAPT made working on it much easier with quantifiable results. Thank you for this service; it was a real bargain. Also thank you for always replying quickly to discussion questions I had; it was helpful to see multiple perspectives for how to work these problems.
- Danny Holland


Hi, I want to tell you that I'm really satisfied with your products, instruction and customer service. I sent questions prior to purchasing the FM e-course and was contact by Jon Goode right away. He was helpful. Also, after paying, I was sent my login information right away. The instructor is great! The product is great! I love it so far! I may use these for all of my prelims. Thanks.
- Dan Kamka


I ended up passing FM this weekend. Problems over and over definitely helped. Thanks ADAPT team. Will be around the P forum for next month's test.
- Jeff


Thanks for your great product. It helped me prepare for the P/1 exam, and I passed the real deal today on my first sitting. Being able to mimic the test-taking environment with your application really helped my confidence and test-taking strategy. I look forward to your FM/2 product.
- Tom Haggerty




I got 5 extra points because of ADAPT's mock exam.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


I have never passed an exam without using ADAPT
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


If you are driven to pass, ADAPT.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


It is the best way to prepare for the preliminary exams.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


Offers a great assistance while preparing for the exam
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


The problems had good coverage of the material, very representative of the actual exam.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


Without ADAPT, I would not have passed any of the three exams I have taken so far. ADAPT provides the right difficulty of question for where you are in your studying, and provides comprehensive solutions after the exam if used in conjunction with the forum.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


****ADAPT's method, when used extensively, relies a lot on repetition, which concerned me prior to my test on the basis that it was excluding potential problem types or that it wasn't preparing me for surprises. Walking out of the test however, I had nothing but good things to say about ADAPT, and, pending pass results of course, feel confident that ADAPT is the reason I will have passed MFE.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


ADAPT allowed me to gague my level of understanding and know where to focus my time. My only regret was that I didn't get it sooner!
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


I felt adapt really prepared me for the exam, it was the closest thing to the actual exam questions in my exam.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


Despite passing P and FM, I had always left the exam room unsure of myself, and barely able to complete the exam in the time allotted. I got a 5 on MFE the first time I took it so I looked for a new method. After 27 days of regular ADAPT preparation, I went into the exam, was very confident in 29 of 30 answers...and had 15 minutes to spare. I would totally use it again.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


I love how ADAPT exams gradually get harder. It makes studying a game. I want to raise my level.
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


There is only so many ways you can ask the material on the syllabus. Adapt does a good job of covering it so that you are very well prepared for the exam
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


The huge question bank was so helpful. I could do as many practice exams as I wanted, and ADEPT even gave me a score so I could see how much further I needed to go for a passing score. Thanks!
- ADAPT MFE survey - November 2011


The adaptive test system and the well written original ADAPT questions created what I believe to be the most useful practice tests out there.
- ADAPT MFE survey - May 2011


ADAPT introduced challenging questions in an atmosphere very similar to that one would experience in the actual exam.
- ADAPT MFE survey - May 2011


I find ADAPT to be a very helpful study tool, since it keeps the focus on the problems and what needs to be understood to be able to answer the problems.
- ADAPT MFE survey - May 2011


ADAPT is a wonderful tool for all actuarial students. It is dynamic and constantly evolving as your knowledge expands, allowing you to highlight areas of weakness and exposing you to more conceptually difficult questions.
- ADAPT MFE survey - May 2011


ADAPT is very useful in drilling problems before the actual exam. The best thing about ADAPT is the earned level tool. This tool automatically adjusts the difficulty of subsequent exams based on your earned level. It's a great way to improve your skills without breaking your confidence.
- ADAPT MFE survey - May 2011


ADAPT was great for getting me prepared for a computer-based test. The exam scoring system makes studying feel more like a game.
- ADAPT MFE survey - May 2011


Excellent tool to prepare of exams, especially CBT exams. Used ADAPT for MFE. The normal table functionality and computer based testing helped me prepare for my CBT MFE.
- ADAPT MFE survey - May 2011


I recently sat for MFE and used your website for additional study questions. This was not my first sitting and I have previously used ASM and Actuarial Brew. I absolutely loved using this website. The ability to choose more difficult questions and concentrate on problem areas was invaluable. The ability to use the Normal Distribution calculator prior to the exam was also a tremendous help. I am pretty sure I passed the exam. I will definately use this site in the future.
- May 2011 MFE student




The ADAPT program I used was wonderful. Starting off I could not do well in the exams at all. I customized my exams so that it could start off at a very low difficulty. That gave me confidence while the difficulty gradually increased and while I adapted to it. I used one manual for the MLC exam and I truly regretted wasting my time on that manual since the material and practice problems in the book were very elementary. ADAPT uses ASM style problems and released SOA problems to train me for the real exam. I was able to pass it on my first sitting... The most important aspect of it was the grading level that indicates and motivates the level of the user. Thank you very much!

Outstanding resource to prepare for the exam. It was the third leg in my exam preparations.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


Adapt is one the greatest tool in exam preparation.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


Outstanding resource to prepare for the exam. It was the third leg in my exam preparations.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


This is the best tool for taking practice exams.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


Very useful for people who knows already the material and would like to practice exams.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


Adapt is a great tool to generate multiple choice exams. It includes all the problems one would usually practice in the ASM manual and the SOA exams however the random generation, combination and order helps to improve not only the knowledge of the material but the exam taking strategies which many MLC students have a hard time with .
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


I have used adapt for FM and MLC and will use for C. It is a tool that helps one fine tune their areas of weaknesses which might be the difference between a pass or a fail. I would recommend anyone to use adapt that wants to pass!
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


The bottom line is every time I've taken an exam after having used ADAPT, I've passed. In fact, my earned level in ADAPT has ended up being my exact exam score everytime I've used the software as well. In other words, I find that ADAPT yields a very accurate description of how well prepared I am to take the exam.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


For MLC there is no better study combination than ASM and ADAPT. After spending two weeks straight of taking ADAPT exams, my problem solving accuracy went from ~45% to ~75% on practice problems. ADAPT is worth well more than the money I spent on it.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


This is my 4th straight pass using the ADAPT software. The combination of ADAPT along with hard work and prayer have resulted in passing P, FM, MFE, and MLC one sitting after another.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


I was very happy. I have a coworker that purchased ADAPT for MFE based off my suggestion and talking about it. I plan to purchase a 60 or 30 day adapt for C next year.
- ADAPT MLC survey - November 2011


Many resources, like ASM, are great in that they ask questions considerably harder than the average exam question. That's great in a way, but it can make you feel discouraged, especially if you are trying to finish the practice exams in three hours. I feel like ADAPT questions for MLC provided a good level of difficulty for actually measuring likely exam performance. I thought the actual exam was pretty similar in difficulty to the ADAPT questions.
- ADAPT MLC survey - May 2011


ADAPT helped me to time my answering pace better, and more familiar with routine questions styles. Good for polishing your knowledge.
- ADAPT MLC survey - May 2011


I've used ADAPT before. It is the best material to prepare the last two weeks going into the exam.
- ADAPT MLC survey - May 2011


3 exam attempts, 3 comfortable passes.. would highly recommend this product.
- ADAPT MLC survey - May 2011



After struggling with C and not being able to figure out what more I could do to pass, ADAPT was recommended to me. It helped me figure out my weak spots and slowly built my confidence back up after receiving two fails. I would recommend this to anyone struggling with these exams.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - February 2012


Yes, before discovering the ADAPT tool I was always close to passing (I recieved 2 5's on FM before passing and a 5 on MLC). On my first try I passed exam M and I believe the difference was using ADAPT tool. This is a great way to discover the topics you struggle with and then master them.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - February 2012


ADAPT was the perfect study tool. The practice exams were almost exactly like the actual exam, so you know you're prepared.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - February 2012


ADAPT has really helped improved my approach of solving multiple choice questions and my understanding of the construction and evaluation of actuarial models. It was fantastic how most of the exam questions related to that of ADAPT format. I encourage you to use ADAPT to prepare for all your SOA exams.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - February 2012


I had passed my first two exams without failing, but wanted an additional edge for my third test. I had heard positive peer reviews about ADAPT and decided to give it a try to help me simulate exams. The system recommended an earned level of 6, and I had heard that 7 was the "magic number", but I attained a level above 8. I passed my test and would definitely purchase the system again. No complaints!
- ADAPT C/4 survey - February 2012


It was great, I love ADAPT, but I generally have to couple it with something else to learn the material. ADAPT for me is strictly for practice testing and refining my skills on certain topics. I love the Topic Quizzes! What a fantastic idea, and I used those a ton to work on each topic I wasn't comfortable with before the exam.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - February 2012


Using the topic quizzes was really helpful.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - February 2012


ADAPT provided a bank of questions I hadn't seen before, which helped increase my ability to solve the "unique" type questions that often appear on an exam.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - October 2011


1 Passing the exam was not just about what I knew, but about what I could do in three and a half hours. This helped me get faster at what I already knew and helped me learn more concepts I didn't grasp before using ADAPT.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - October 2011


1 I failed this test 3 times prior. This time, I put my old study materials aside and used ADAPT along with another test. I went into the test with an earned level of roughly 7.5 and passed. Thank you.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - October 2011


Adapt has been very helpful in preparing me for the exams specially because it replicates the CBT experience. So on exam day it feels like just another Adapt session.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - June 2011


It is a great learning experience, specially regarding exam testing enviroment. I felt comfortable in the actuall exam because of the early testing enviroment provided by ADAPT.
- ADAPT C/4 survey - June 2011


This is a great system to get a wide sampling of test-like problems. I've told my friends!
- ADAPT C/4 survey - June 2011


ADAPT really make me felt confident and eliminated all the frustation I usually felt on the practice exams. I fully recommend it!
- ADAPT C/4 survey - June 2011


It is a great tool to prepare the actuarial exams. I strongly recommend.
