Week-by-week module breakdown

A 14-week Exam P plan walks the syllabus module-by-module before transitioning into review and mock phases. Module weeks are allocated proportional to SOA topic weights — heavier-weighted modules get more time, lighter ones either get a single week or pair with adjacent topics on intensive paces.

Module 1 of 3
Weeks 1–2
Exam weight 10–17%
General Probability

Foundational probability concepts: sample spaces, events, conditional probability, independence, and Bayes theorem. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.

Module 2 of 3
Weeks 3–5
Exam weight 40–47%
Univariate Random Variables

Discrete and continuous random variables, probability mass and density functions, expected value, variance, and common parametric distributions. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.

Module 3 of 3
Weeks 6–8
Exam weight 40–47%
Multivariate Random Variables

Joint, marginal, and conditional distributions; covariance and correlation; sums and functions of random variables; and the central limit theorem. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.

Phase: Review
Weeks 9–11

Review

Weak-topic drilling. exclam.ai surfaces topics where you underperformed during coverage and re-quizzes them. Daily FSRS flashcard reps across all 3 topics to prevent decay. Start doing timed question batches focused on the heaviest-weight sections.

Phase: Mocks
Weeks 12–14

Mocks

Full-length Exam P practice exams under timed conditions. Target one mock every 3–5 days. Same-day error review: for every question you miss, re-derive the solution from scratch. Taper in the final 3 days — light flashcards only.
