A 24-week Exam SRM 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.
Supervised and unsupervised learning, model assessment, bias-variance tradeoff, and resampling methods including cross-validation. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.
Ordinary least squares regression, generalized linear models, variable selection, and regularization techniques. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.
Classification and regression trees, pruning, and ensemble methods including bagging, random forests, and boosting. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.
Dimension reduction via principal components analysis and unsupervised clustering via k-means and hierarchical clustering. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.
Introduction to time series analysis including autoregressive, moving average, and ARIMA models. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.
Weak-topic drilling. exclam.ai surfaces topics where you underperformed during coverage and re-quizzes them. Daily FSRS flashcard reps across all 5 topics to prevent decay. Start doing timed question batches focused on the heaviest-weight sections.
Full-length Exam SRM 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.
