We’ve loaded our online course with tons of content to help you grasp all the tricky concepts:

Online Video Lessons (with captions and full transcripts): CPCU 410 is a course that is best learned with visual aids. We show you how concepts work, and work out the various word problems you’ll encounter step-by-step, with helpful annotations and tips for avoiding the most common mistakes. If you prefer to read the content, our platform displays captions and full, searchable transcripts.

Streaming Audio Option: If you prefer to learn on the go, our streaming audio option lets you listen to the lectures while you commute, workout, or otherwise have time to listen in.

Study Guide Outlines: Our famous study guides condense each chapter to several pages of key terms, major concepts, and other important lists of information. The clean outline format makes it easy to see how the details presented are related to each other.

Foundational Finance Lessons: We have included lessons on topics that we think you should understand before you start reading your textbook. These lessons cover topics that are referred to all thorough the book from start to finish, but aren’t explained well right off the bat. If you don’t know these concepts upfront, you might not fully grasp what is being said every time the textbook makes mention of them. We help you solve that problem by teaching you these concepts right upfront.

Help with Formulas: CPCU 410 has a good number of formulas that aren’t provided for you on the exam. Our e-bundle includes a number of tools to help you:

• Formulas Module, that explains each formula in detail
• Convenient, quick reference sheets that list out the formulas
• “How to Memorize CPCU Formulas” handout, outlining a method that allows you to create a cheat sheet for yourself on test day.

How to Solve GAAP Problems: One of the trickiest elements of the CPCU 410 test is understanding how to read GAAP statements and draw conclusions. Because what constitutes “good financial results” is relative depending on the company and their situation, there aren’t that many hard and fast rules about what to look for. We compiled a list of tips on how to navigate solving GAAP problems, and give examples for you to see how those tips apply.

Practice Problems: The old saying “practice makes perfect” is absolutely true when it comes to CPCU math problems, so we have a whole bunch of extra problems for you to practice on. We even included walk-throughs for all the variations of the cash flow valuation problems, which provide detailed walkthroughs plus button sequences for the HP 10bII calculator and the TI BAII calculator.

Chapter quizzes: Reinforce your understanding by taking the practice quiz that comes at the end of each chapter.

Full-length practice exam: Our final exam draws on the content from every chapter, so you can get a sense of what it’s like to be tested on everything at once.
