1. I put together some information about Exam P/1 and FM/2
including May exam dates, registration deadlines, and
recommendation for study material on the web at
http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~cban/as/
Note that Exam FM/2 will be computer based as Exam P/1.
Paper and pencil exam is no longer available in the US.

2. There is a Diversity Exam Reimbursement Program offered
by SOA and CAS to minority students.  See the bottom part
of the above web site for detail.
