My general sense is that there aren't going to be any students who are taking upper level exams. Mostly, working actuaries, or an occasional, (recently) unemployed actuary.
For all such applicants, forking out an extra $1000 even out of pocket, in case company does not cover, would not be a big deal (after all, seems like most applicants take TIA video courses).
Couldn't CAS charge an extra $1000 and get the reading material reworked?
1. Errata -- merge them in the new editions, for god's sake. Why the hell publish errata for an electronic document, just update the darn thing.
2. Better layout/publishing -- the entire PDF is set in mostly one, not terribly readable font. Paragraphs are not even right justified.
I am reading Odomirok, and by golly, I have read better typeset engineering manuscripts as far back as mid-1980s. Folks, that's Ronald Reason time! 30 years later, there is no excuse for such lame documents.

Why is CAS so backward when it comes to reading materials for upper exams?
