Register and Schedule An Appointment for Computer Based Exams (CBT)

Computer Based Testing is a 2-Step Process

Step 1 – Register with SOA

Register for the exam with the Society of Actuaries by the published deadline. (Registration closes at midnight U.S. Central Time.) Online registration is the preferred registration method. It is critical that the name you use for registration matches your first and last name on your valid government issued photo ID. Do not change the spelling. Discrepancies in names may prevent you from testing.

Step 2 – Schedule your appointment with Prometric

After your registration has been processed with the SOA, you will receive an automatic acknowledgement letter by email that includes your unique candidate/eligibility number for this administration. The candidate/eligibility number is NOT activated immediately. Once the number has been activated, the SOA will email you a Letter of Confirmation. At that time, you should schedule your exam center appointment with Prometric IMMEDIATELY.

NOTE: Make an appointment early!  Candidates who do not make an appointment at a CBT Prometric center upon receiving their confirmation letter may find their local CBT center is filled on the days when the exam is offered.  The latest a candidate can schedule a CBT appointment is 48 hours prior to the start time of the exam on the final day of the testing window. No appointments will be made after that time. No corrections can be made once the 48-hour window has passed.

If you do not receive your letter of confirmation within 10 days of receiving your receipt/acknowledgement letter, please check your “bulk mail” or “junk mail” email folder before contacting SOA Customer Service at +1-888-697-3900.

CBT Language Options – Please select carefully.

    • English is the only language option outside of Canada.
    • Candidates taking their exam in Canada will have the bilingual options of English or French language.

If English is selected the entire testing experience is in the English language.

*If French is selected, the candidate sees a split screen (English on the left‐hand side/French on the right‐hand side). The Tutorial and the Final Score Report are entirely in French. The examination portion is completely in English with the navigation ability to select a French translation of the exam question by clicking on a button titled French.

The PA Exam, when you access the problem statement, the statement will be in English. There will be a button on the screen to view the same statement in French.

These bilingual versions are only offered in Canada.
