Quick Answer
If you are starting now, do not build your plan around IFM. Treat it as a transition/history page and verify old advice against the current SOA or CAS pathway.
Why It Still Shows Up
IFM appears in older ASA and CAS pathway discussions because it used to be part of the shared preliminary-exam landscape. That makes it important for SEO and candidate clarity even though it is not a current study target.
What To Do Instead
For current SOA candidates, focus on P, FM, FAM, SRM, PA, ATPA, and the ALTAM/ASTAM choice. For CAS candidates, focus on the current CAS ACAS sequence and transition rules if you have legacy credit.
