ISO manual lookup tables
When trying to complete problems that require looking up values in the ISO manual (for example F2014Q8), where do I find the appropriate tables?
The syllabus says, "Portions of this manual will be provided with the examination’s reference materials to the extent needed to answer questions on the exam," but these reference materials are not included when I download the Examiner's report.

The tables are contained in the CAS Exam 8 Study Kit which we are unfortunately unable to fully reproduce for copyright reasons. The study kit is available for purchase on the CAS store.
We are working towards providing sample excerpts for these questions.
So as I see there is no way to actually know what these tables look like without purchasing that kit, is it actually obvious how to find the values? Like are the CSLC by $?
Also, I would suggest adding these figures to the battle card for the problems as it is impossible to complete the problems without the values.
Thanks for your feedback. We're still evolving as we figure out the best way to provide the information needed to complete these questions.
The tables are straight forward to use. We've included snippets of the tables in most of our files so you can get familiar. They look very similar to those seen in:
https://www.battleacts8.ca/8/pdf/ISO_StandardCSLC.pdf or
https://www.battleacts8.ca/8/pdf/ISO_CalcExpMod.pdf
If you have a copy of the latest study kit we've made solutions available which use those figures. It's important to keep in mind though that updating to the latest study kit can materially change the nature of the question as, for example, the MSL may have increased beyond the losses so no capping is required. In the formulation at the time, the MSL cap may have applied.

Lastly, don't forget you can go to the Pearson website and view the sample exam. In there is an old version of the tables so you can get familiar with locating them and finding your way around the layout.
Perfect, thank you for all the responses! Very Helpful!
Do you know where on the CAS website I can purchase a copy of the Fall 2022 study kit? I tried looking for it on the CAS online store but could not find it. Thanks.
We looked this morning and it appears the CAS has taken all of the study kits (not just exam 8) off of their online store already :(
