Education and Examination System

Review and Development of Course of Reading

The Course of Reading is reviewed regularly by members of the Education Committee. Both short-term and long-term goals for improvement are developed. Textbooks and articles may be selected or Study Notes (SNs) developed to be included in the Course of Reading. From time to time, new textbooks are written for the specific purpose of inclusion in the Course of Reading.

If new study material needs to be developed, or existing material needs to be revised, authors and reviewers who are experts in the area are recruited. Every effort is made to develop material that is appropriate, relevant, up–to–date, concise and well written. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome and should be sent to the Education and Examinations Department of the SOA office in care of the Ombudsperson.

Every effort is made to present educational material clearly and unambiguously. Occasionally, however, errors do occur. Candidates who believe that they have found an error in any study material should write to the Education and Examinations Department at the SOA office in care of the Ombudsperson so that any necessary corrective action may be taken.
