STUDENTS

The ACTEX e-workbook by Perdisco is an inexpensive online study resource that combines technology with advanced financial models and makes studying for the FM/2 Exam easier by providing you with:

A deep pool of hundreds of new, interactive questions that change every time you complete them for unlimited practice. Mathematical models randomize the key variables in the questions and the worked solutions.
Academic feedback based on your answers. Answers include fully worked solutions. We don’t just tell you whether you are right or wrong! We tell you why your answer is incorrect and what you need to do to get the correct answer.
Virtual tutoring on all the topics covered in the syllabus textbook.
Help whenever you need it, wherever you need it.

PROFESSORS

Imagine that you could regularly assess and monitor your students’ comprehension of course concepts while providing them with additional practice questions to strengthen their understanding . . . without doing any more work than you are doing already!

Most academic resources contain only a limited range of problems to solve and rarely supply step-by-step solutions. Using real-life scenarios, our e-learning workbooks solve this problem. The workbooks are customized to complement the resources that your students are currently using in their courses.

Customization:

Customized e-workbooks that are mapped exactly to each course, perfectly target the content covered. You and your students know that every question is relevant. For example, one version of our e-workbooks directly ties to our Mathematics of Investment and Credit textbook by Broverman. All of the practice, assessment and tracking are entirely customized to match the content and learning objectives of that specific text.

Practice:

Workbooks encourage students to practice and revise course concepts regularly.

Automatic Assessment:

Tailored assessments with automated marking, recording and reporting of results can be delivered online. This enables one of the most powerful contributors to student performance – ongoing assessment and timely feedback without any extra work!

Student Performance Tracking:

You can access information on student performance and use this to diagnose performance trends. This information can then be used to tailor future lessons in line with student needs.

Ease of Use:

If you choose to adopt our e-workbook into your course, Perdisco will work with you to ensure that the workbook closely reflects the course content. It is not necessary to have any knowledge of computers or the internet. There is no software to install or download. All the students need is internet access.
