What does the $59 Fellow tier unlock for MAS-I?

Fellow ($59 per quarter or $149 per year, per track) unlocks four things on top of the free tier: timed mock exams with weighted scoring that match the real exam blueprint, spaced-repetition flashcards built on memory science from cognitive psychology, topic-level practice to drill weak areas, performance analytics broken down by topic and difficulty, and a personalized study plan that adapts to your exam date. Everything else — questions, solutions, lessons — stays free.

How should I use FreeFellow to study for MAS-I?

Start with topic-based practice to identify weak areas. As your exam date approaches, switch to timed practice exams under realistic conditions. The free tier gives you everything you need to build mastery; if you want pacing tools (mock exams, analytics, a study plan) and long-term retention aids (spaced-repetition flashcards), become a Fellow.

What calculator is allowed on MAS-I?

The CAS permits the Texas Instruments TI-30XS MultiView on all exams. No other calculators are allowed.

What is the MAS-I exam format?

CAS Exam MAS-I is a 4-hour computer-based exam with multiple-choice questions covering probability models, statistics, and regression. It is administered at Prometric testing centers.

How We Compare Save 90%+

Per-exam pricing across the major prep providers. The FreeFellow core (questions, solutions, lessons) is free forever — the optional Fellow tier is $59 per quarter, roughly 1/20th of what traditional providers charge.

FreeFellow core free

$0 · Fellow $59/qtr

Coaching Actuaries

$200–$400/exam

Traditional providers bundle prep into a single up-front fee. FreeFellow keeps the question bank and lessons free forever and charges only for deeper study tools (mocks, flashcards, analytics). All numbers are competitor list prices as of 2026.

Sample Questions

Question 1 Easy

A 3-out-of-50 system is placed in series with a 48-out-of-50 system.

Calculate the number of minimal path sets.

Solution

B is correct.

For a k-out-of-n system, a minimal path set consists of exactly k components. For the series combination of a 3-out-of-50 and 48-out-of-50 system, a minimal path set must contain a path set from each subsystem.

The 3-out-of-50 system has

\binom{50}{3} = 19{,}600

minimal path sets. The 48-out-of-50 system has

\binom{50}{48} = \binom{50}{2} = 1{,}225

minimal path sets.

For the series system, each minimal path set is the union of one from each. However, components may overlap. But since these are separate systems with separate components (100 components total), the number of minimal path sets is

19{,}600 \times 1{,}225 = 24{,}010{,}000

Question 2 Medium

A Poisson GLM with a log link was fitted to model auto insurance claim counts. The deviance residual plot is shown below. Based on this plot, which issue is most clearly indicated?

Solution

Choice B is correct.

The residual plot shows a clear funnel (megaphone) pattern: residuals near fitted value 2 are tightly clustered within

\pm 0.3

, but by fitted value 10 they spread to

\pm 2.5

. This increasing spread is the hallmark of heteroscedasticity — the variance of the response is not constant but grows with the mean. For a Poisson GLM, this suggests overdispersion (the actual variance exceeds what the Poisson model assumes). A quasi-Poisson or negative binomial model would be more appropriate.

Question 3 Hard

Determine which one of the following statements about Principal Component Regression (PCR) is FALSE.

Solution

C is correct.

Let us evaluate each statement:

A: TRUE. Standardizing predictors before PCA is recommended because PCA is sensitive to the scale of variables.

D: FALSE. PCR does NOT perform feature selection in the traditional sense. It selects principal components (linear combinations of all original features), but it does not select or exclude individual features. All original variables contribute to each principal component. Feature selection methods like LASSO actually zero out coefficients.

C: TRUE. This is a known limitation/assumption of PCR -- it assumes that the directions of maximum variance in the predictors are the directions most associated with the response.

(B): TRUE. PCR can reduce overfitting by using fewer principal components than original features, effectively reducing dimensionality.

E: TRUE. By definition, the first principal component is the direction of maximum variance in the data.
