Comprehensive study guide: Condenses each chapter down to several pages, listing out all the key terms, major concepts, and other important lists. The outlines include the technical definition for each concept, a simpler definition in plain English, and examples to illustrate the trickier concepts.
Claims Department Structure: See how the typical claims department is structured and who reports to whom.
Income Statement Formulas: Understanding how to apply the formulas from this course is a must if you want to pass your exam. This bonus printable explains exactly what each formula tells you, and uses simple examples to illustrate how to interpret the results you get after applying the formula.
Vertical & Trend Analysis: Doing a proper analysis of financial statements under the pressure of a timed test can be stressful. Our handout breaks down common-size and year-to-year statements so you’ll know exactly how to read them.
Comparison of Insurance Customers: One topic you’ll learn about is the different types of customers that insurance companies sell to and how they differ. We provide a convenient table that shows their main differences side-by-side, so you can easily compare and contrast them at a glance.
Types of Reinsurance: Keeping the various types of reinsurance straight will be critical to passing the exam. Our handy chart provides a visual cheat sheet, making it easy to see the various subcategories of reinsurance.
How Reinsurance Works: The final exam will heavily feature topics from the reinsurance sections of the textbook. Our reference sheet illustrates how different types of reinsurance would apply to scenarios.
Reinsurance layering: Reinsurance can be pretty complicated when multiple reinsurers are involved. We provide detailed examples to show you how this layering works.
Actuarial Practice Problems: One of the trickiest aspects of the course are the actuarial calculations. We provide sample problems and walkthroughs showing you exactly how to do the calculations.

About your instructor
Insurance Exam Guides (IEG) was founded by Stacy Trinh, CPCU®, who first started her teaching journey at the request of her co-workers who were preparing for their CPCU exams. Because of her reputation as an adept trainer and motivator, Stacy's co-workers had asked her to lead a class. The feedback on her sessions and study materials was overwhelming positive, and her students encouraged her to share what she had to offer with the rest of the CPCU community.
Since then, Stacy created a library of study materials for both CPCU® and AINS® that have helped thousands of students pass their exams. As an accounting major and former claims adjuster, her style of instruction incorporates both a financial and operational perspective that makes her study materials well-rounded. She looks forward to helping many more students continue to succeed, including you!
