Rehearse before the real exam!

Practice with the ACTEX ASTAM Graded Mock Exam - a great way to predict your exam outcome! Before you take the official ASTAM exam - take the ACTEX ASTAM Graded Mock Exam and get feedback from the experts.

The open-ended style of the ASTAM exam makes it difficult for students to evaluate their work. That is why Wenjun Jiang and Anas Abdallah have designed the graded mock exam to mirror the SOA Exam ASTAM. This exam has a new set of questions and all the typical elements of your SOA exam. This allows you to gain insights into the content, format and your strengths and weaknesses prior to taking the exam.

How does it work?

• Only 100 Graded Mock exams accepted for the April ‘24 exam


• You will receive the ACTEX ASTAM Graded Mock Exam by mid February


• The Graded Mock Exam will come in a PDF format. You will write your solutions on your own paper.


• Take the exam in the allotted time so you can simulate the 3 hours that will be given at the actual exam


• To submit your solutions for grading, you will scan and email to the instructor (last submission date April 10th)


• Prof. Jiang and Prof. Abdallah will review, grade and provide written feedback within 2 weeks
