Not impressed. Maybe other "flavors" are better, but I will never buy this one again. Very salty. Ruined a pound of meat.

This is probably the fourth or fifth board I've owned, and I was excited to get it out of the box. When I did, I was a little confused to find that I had one planchette and two boards. I don't know whether the two boards thing is normal, but I'm guessing it's not. So I got two boards for the price of one. But the boards are rather small, so maybe I just got my money's worth.

This goes into more depth than you need for the exam. It was good to have so many problems to practice with but I felt that I wasted a large amount of time trying to figure out methods that I did not end up needing on the exam. I used the Actex "Probability for Risk Management" text which was extremely useful and the SOA practice problems. I passed the exam on the second try and I think if I had concentrated less on this manual and more on the SOA practice problems I could have passed the first time. If I had it to do over again I would look for another source containing a large pool of practice problems that better represent the exam.

I am not going to lie, at first I hesitated of this product. Could this really increase my focus? I had doubts.
