Hello all,
I've hijacked some other threads, but I just wanted to take a minute and start a base for the PAK Online Seminar for ERM Spring 2016! I already know many of you on the forum, but I'd like to introduce myself to those I don't.
A little about myself
My name is Paul Peterson, and I've been helping students pass exams for about 3 years now. I passed my exams and got my FSA using PAK, and thought so highly of the material that they provided, that I couldn't wait to start helping get other students through these exams. I started work on the Finance Track (CFE/SDM), focusing on the Online Seminars, and have recently joined Eddy in the fight to help students pass ERM!
The thing I have taken the most pride in over the years is the close relationships I have with the candidates. Please, feel free to email me, PM me, or chat on this forum or the PAK forum, and I promise I will promptly and thoroughly reply; I'd love to help out, clear up any tricky topics, or give advice. I'm confident that the students I have worked with in the past would agree that I will stop at nothing to help you get a passing grade :)
A little about the seminar
The purpose of this seminar is to solidify and enhance your knowledge of the readings, and most importantly, give you the best chance to pass the exam. We will review all of the key concepts, do examples, and discuss how the readings could show up on the exam.
The PAK Online Seminar includes:
A little about the exams
Statistically speaking, most students taking the ERM exam are taking it as their first FSA exam. Many are not prepared for the change in difficulty and style compared to the preliminary exams. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
If you have any questions at all (about the exam, about our products, about life in general), please email me at paulpeterson@pakstudymanual.com or talk to me here. And as you are starting to study and think about the exam, always remember, you can do it!

The PAK Online Seminar includes:
- Over 70 video lectures to clarify and explain the key concepts/calculations in each syllabus reading (Core + Extension) and past exam questions
- Analyze the new case study (e.g. how to answer the case-study-related questions)
- Discuss the past exam questions (e.g. exam techniques, how to score)
- Contain condensed outlines for each reading on the syllabus
- Include practice questions to test your knowledge
- Review the lectures and study at your own pace
- On-demand video library compatible with smartphones (iPhone, Android, etc), tablets (iPad, Android), and PC/Mac devices.
- Email support (ask as many questions as you can think of!)
- Free access for 2nd attempt (only for those who scored 2-5)
A little about the exams
Statistically speaking, most students taking the ERM exam are taking it as their first FSA exam. Many are not prepared for the change in difficulty and style compared to the preliminary exams. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- Make a schedule and try to stick to it. You are required to read a lot of material, and falling behind is the surest way to hurt your chances. Try the PAK Suggested Study Schedule for a good guide.
- Look at some of the past exams and exam solutions. Don't worry if you don't know the answers yet. Take some time to get familiar with the types of questions you might see.
- Practice writing. This might seem like a strange one, but many students are surprised by how hard it is to write for such a long time. Build those muscles!
- When in doubt, ask questions. I'm always here to help!
