The CAS has decided to defer administering exams in the Technology-Based Examination (TBE) format after the spring 2018 administration of Exam 5 did not go as planned.

CAS exams will continue to be given in the traditional paper-and-pencil format until a new TBE process has been identified, developed, and tested.
