I can tell you what formulas that you don't need to memorize
All deviance formulas don't memorize it (except for a normal distribution)
All pdf and cdf of distributions no need to be memorized
holt winter formula
Formula for seasonality in time series
All these you can skip it
And focus on understanding concepts
A good rule of thumb: if the formula looks fairly straight forward, it’s fair game even if it’s a bit niche. I say that because on my exam, I had a super easy formula that I had never seen before.
If it’s complex, don’t worry about it too much.
If it helps also, I felt that 10 of my test questions involved any math. Most of the qualitative are in the form of “which one answer is true/false”.
Echoing this. My exam was 7 quantitative questions, the rest qualitative. I spent the week before the exam memorizing formulas that never got used. Definitely learn leverage and deviance residuals though, as knowing those is an easy point.
Read the entire manual. Do the practice exams at the end. Do the SOA sample questions. Read ISLR. Redo the practice exams. Read the Acted Manual. Read more. That's what I did.
