A current guide to CAS Exam 7, including the 100% Estimation of Claims Liabilities domain, data diagnostics, unpaid claim estimates, stochastic reserving, prediction error, risk margins, reinsurance reserving, Pearson VUE delivery, and CAS exam-day requirements.
CAS Exam 7 is an advanced reserving exam. The current outline concentrates the full exam domain on estimation of claims liabilities, so preparation should connect deterministic estimates, stochastic distributions, diagnostics, risk margins, and reinsurance work.
Use these points before preparing for Advanced Estimation of Claims Liabilities.
CAS Exam 7 is administered by the Casualty Actuarial Society.
The current outline lists Estimation of Claims Liabilities as the only domain, weighted at 100%.
The current outline lists a 4.5-hour appointment with 4 hours of exam duration, a 15-minute scheduled break, and 15 minutes for tutorial, confidentiality agreement, and survey.
Candidates may see multiple choice, multiple selection, point-and-click, fill-in-the-blank, matching, constructed response, and spreadsheet items.
CAS lists Remember at 0-10%, Understand and Apply at 40-50%, Analyze and Evaluate at 40-50%, and Create at 0-10%.
CAS computer-based exams are delivered through Pearson VUE after CAS registration and authorization to test.
The outline places 100% of the exam in Estimation of Claims Liabilities. A strong plan should connect every reading and practice set back to unpaid claim estimation decisions.
Candidates need to calculate unpaid claim estimates, test their reasonableness, handle layers of coverage, and understand premium reserves, then extend that work into stochastic distributions and prediction error.
The exam emphasizes testing assumptions, reviewing model output, developing ranges, calculating risk margins, and explaining why one indication or reserving approach is more appropriate than another.
CAS candidates should verify the authorization to test, appointment details, scheduled break, approved calculator, scratch-work tools, spreadsheet item behavior, embedded exam materials, and identification rules.

CAS Exam 7, Advanced Estimation of Claims Liabilities, tests advanced unpaid claim estimation for property and casualty actuarial work. The current CAS outline lists a 4.5-hour appointment: 4 hours of exam duration, a 15-minute scheduled break, and 15 minutes for tutorial, confidentiality agreement, and end-of-exam survey. The outline lists one exam domain, Estimation of Claims Liabilities, weighted at 100%. Tasks include data diagnostic analysis and adjustments, unpaid claim point estimates, reasonableness testing, layered coverage estimates, premium reserves for retrospective premiums, stochastic distribution parameters, moments and percentiles, simulation, reserve mean and prediction error, predictive distributions, model assumption testing, ranges of indications, risk margins, and reinsurance reserving. Candidates may see multiple choice, multiple selection, point-and-click, fill-in-the-blank, matching, constructed response, and spreadsheet item types. CAS computer-based exams are delivered through Pearson VUE; candidates should confirm CAS registration, authorization to test, exam window, Pearson VUE appointment, approved calculator rules, scratch-work policy, embedded reference materials, break timing, and CAS examination discipline rules.

Check CAS registration, authorization to test, Pearson VUE appointment, exam window, ID name match, and accommodation status.
Build a study tracker around the current Exam 7 task list from data preparation through reinsurance reserving.
Practice point estimates, reasonableness checks, coverage layers, retrospective premium reserves, data adjustments, and diagnostic reviews.
Practice distribution parameters, moments and percentiles, simulation, reserve mean, prediction error, predictive distributions, assumptions, ranges, and risk margins.
Review Pearson VUE rules, approved calculator models, memory clearing, scratch notebook policy, scheduled break timing, item types, and CAS examination discipline requirements.
