More Information About Your Study Program and Expert Author

Exam ASTAM is a 3-hour written answer exam. It extends the discussion of mathematics of short-term insurance found in Exam FAM-S. FAM-S is the prerequisite for this course. The manual has short answer and multiple-choice exercises. Even though the exam will consist of long multi-part written answer questions, these exercises will help you learn the material.
