The ACTEX Exam MLC/3L Review Seminar on DVD is a recorded version of an ACTEX exam-preparation seminar. It is an in-depth review of all of the Life Contingencies syllabus material. The goal of the seminar is to help speed up problem recognition and solution, and to teach shortcuts and intuitive thinking.
Recorded with Dolby digital sound, the recordings are dual layered, with each DVD containing twice as much information as our initial versions. All DVDs are packaged in one case for ease of transporting.
There are extensive interactive menus, allowing the student to easily and quickly move to any major topic or sample problem.
Please be aware that the content of this DVD is identical to the content of our ACTEX MLC/3L On Demand Webcast . The Webcast has a greater visual clarity than the DVD and greatly enhanced browsing functionality. If you have access to a high speed internet connection, you may wish to consider purchasing the ACTEX MLC/3L On Demand Webcast.
The advantage of purchasing this seminar on DVD versus purchasing our new ACTEX On Demand Webcast is that the DVD can be viewed on a computer, a DVD player or a portable DVD device. You do not need access to a high speed internet connection and you do not need to be online to view the DVD.
STUDENT COMMENTS from the live ACTEX Seminar
"Fantastic! This seminar helped me identify the topics I need to focus on in the next month".
"This seminar does a wonderful job of bridging the gap between coursework and the exam. The instructor is very enthusiastic and has a very in-depth understanding of the material".
"Professor London has an excellent way of giving a very compact yet powerful review of the important course topics. He is a great speaker who communicates the topics without being confusing or hard to follow. This seminar built my confidence for passing the exam".
