Exams included are listed at the top of column E+

All readings that have been on the syllabus for those exams are listed on the left hand
side in column A.

If the cell at the intersection of a particular exam and reading is blue, that means that
the reading was listed on the syllabus for that exam and therefore could have been tested.

If there is a "Q#" in any of those blue boxes, that refers to the specific question on
the exam for which that reading was stated as a source in the SOA solutions.

Some readings are tested in more than one question on a particular exam, so you
will see several questions listed in the same cell.

The specific pages required to read may change sitting to sitting so please refer to
the current syllabus posted on the SOA website for page numbers
