SOA Exam P-Tips and Tips

The content of the following discussion is more practical than the psychological or other aspects of the answer. The following points help increase your chances of winning when faced with difficult or unsolvable problems and are better suited for theoretical problems.

Integral Calculation Tips

The first point is to have a complete understanding of the integration algorithm and to be familiar with the use of methods that can reduce complex calculations. We don't know how many questions need to be applied to this algorithm before the lab starts, how many randomly determined questions, and how many luck-dependent questions. I haven't encountered many problems using integrations, but in reality some have encountered almost all integrations. Therefore, it is recommended that applying integrated technology to the exam is the perfect solution after the exam is in full swing.

Note the normal distribution

The second point is the number normally asked in the test for normal distribution questions (whether it is a Z value or whether the probabilities follow the data in the table). So don't worry too much about whether it has a value. Between the two. If so, it should be wrong with your answer. Here, the table probability it provides is 0.5 [P (X <x) | x>0]

Trial and error when conducting tests

The third point is trial and error. This is at least a little better than "tikam". The author himself has done this twice with the same copy of the office. His question seems to be related to two mixed distribution functions and is not used in direct calculations, but I vaguely remember that it is completely biased towards theory. The question is whether which probability range needs to be answered meets the above theory. For this type of question, you can either use the theoretical method to find standard answers step by step, or use the second type, trial and error.

There are many types of trial and error methods, but we will focus on two methods: exclusion and scope testing. If the answer is the type of theory (such as which function should be used to represent the requirements of the question), the method of removal is more appropriate, and range tests usually eventually get the function. You can roll back when you do it from an existing answer. Certainty (Test P is not commonly used, but is very important in Test FM). The topics that meet the exclusion method are listed below.

 

Our goal is to pass Exam P with more correct answers. So this approach is unconventional and unprofessional, but at least I can complete the answer. As Deng Xiaoping said, "It's a good cat to catch a mouse, whether it's a black cat or a white cat," no one outside asks or asks what method they are using to solve the problem. There is no right.

Remember the features of the TI-30Xb multi-view calculator

The fourth point is to learn the important features of the TI-30XB Multiview Calculator. It saves time in the office, which may require manual operation, but the computer can complete the calculation process. Casio computers, which are a bit overpriced and cheap, have more features than that, but first they started contacting Texas Instruments computers and their various features (save data, tables, data buttons). Functions should be familiar to you and are very easy to use

The main function of the table button (third row counting from the second button on the right) is to enter parameters into the function step by step / autonomously to get the answer, instead of pressing the function with new data. is. The step formula is to start with which value and jump through the number of values ​​to get the answer for the ranking. Autonomous is to enter the desired parameters directly to get the desired answer.

 

The main function of the data button (second line, counting from the first button on the right) is to calculate statistical data such as mean, standard deviation, percentile, etc.

What to do during the exam

In the exam room, all candidates can only bring two computers from the list, one computer is sufficient. However, it is advisable to bring in two of the same type directly (don't bring in BA II, it's totally useless, so if you insist on doing so, it has the ability to take you west). Avoid the super dilemma that one of your computers is unavailable. Everything in life is unpredictable, so it's the safest approach just in case. In addition, discounts apply for the use of two computers. Do not take them for free.

Pen writing guide

Fifth, pay attention to the type of pen you are using when exercising. Frequently asked questions do not matter whether you use a pen or a refill pen / pencil. However, there are only pencils in the exam, no other stationery such as eraser markers or rulers. Therefore, be sure to use a pencil to count the answers during the practice test. This will give you a closer look at how to write your answer in the exam room. It is better not to use other stationery, but at the cost of very fast paper consumption. Two weeks before entering the exam, the author used a colorful pen to record or classify a variety of algorithms. This isn't good, but it's pretty practical to my eyes. But after all, you only have a dingy pencil to record all of this in the doctor's office.

Informative youtube video

Sixth, go to Google or YouTube to find information and little knowledge about how to test your SOA or ExamP. Usually, if you come across a very deep and incomprehensible question, you can go online to get relevant answers and more. The method I used is to find the core information in the question, but I rarely come across similar answers. If you want to understand the answer to the exam P or exam syllabus range, you can watch a series of videos on the following two channels. The authors believe that their content is very useful to them.
