General Information

Examination Locations

Regular examination centers are set up in many locations, with consideration given to the number of candidates in the vicinity and the availability of appropriate facilities and supervisory personnel. Special examination centers may be arranged at the discretion of the SOA office. The additional fee for these special centers is $60 (U.S.); requests should be received by the September 24 registration deadline for the Fall examinations.

Examination centers are listed on the exam registration Web page. A candidate's examination center will be indicated on the acknowledgement letter/ticket of admission. Note: For details on the examination administration of Exam P, please refer to BeAnActuary.org

Please check the exam registration Web page periodically for updated center information. Center locations are subject to change prior to the exam date.

Requesting a Change of Exam Center

A registered candidate who requests a change of examination center must pay a $60 (U.S.) change–of–center fee. Candidates must contact the Examination Department for approval to change an examination center. Special re–scheduling policies apply to ExamP/1 Candidates. Please refer to BeAnActuary.org for specific change of center guidelines.
