4/5 starts; helpful guide
The CAS manuals from Actex are a big help, imo - lots to get your arms around. I found this manual helpful - more than I realized when it came to the last weeks of studying.
Ive used this manual for a couple months now and can recommend it to other students. I used it as my primary study tool along with CAS readings.
I used Actex for CAS5 and CAS6US. This is basically in the same vein. It follows the syllabus and helps organize your studying and focus it. I like Actex, and definitely prefer to learn by reading. I personally find it much more efficient.
Well-written, strikes the right balance, IMO. I like a more concise manual, but not too brief. This manual is my core study material.
