Well done, Jeff! I see you did some work in researching the ASA structure. I know the effort it required to put this video together (with all the beautiful graphic designs and visualization) was more than the research.

Jajajaja, FM and P took me 2 attempts each. I am not the smartest guy in class but people identifies me as a sharp, smart and fast worker. After having spent 1k for just two tests and realizing I am not as good as the near me pretend I am, I am not sure if continuing is worthy 😢😢😢😢 taking those exams at 52 and working in something no related at all with the tested topics makes me to think!!!!

You did good. The easiest way to fail is to be cocky. Most smart test takers underestimate actuarial exams,then they fail over and over. They pass after paying the due respect for the exams and putting in the required hours.

This has been a really helpful guide. I got stuck on FM for longer than I should have, got a 5 in both February and April after starting my studying in mid-December. Now that I really understand what it takes to pass one of these exams, I should be more than prepared for my sitting this week. Honestly, I don't mind having more exams ahead of me, especially if each exam seems to take fewer attempts on average.

Hey Jeff, I would like to follow your advice and take the exam PA after SRM, but the exam PA is $1125 and the exam FAM is $375. If you qualify for the Diversity Exam Reimbursement Program, you can request a refund. I have received refunds for exams P and FM, but unlike exam FAM, exam PA is not included in the list. So due to financial constraints I will take exam SRM and then FAM.

Hi Jeff, just to be clear, you don't need to know R to take PA, right?

You still need to be able to interpret R code, but you will not have to write code yourself. Here is the link to the syllabus where you can find out more about the exam: www.soa.org/4adf8d/globalassets/assets/files/edu/2024/spring/syllabi/2024-04-exam-pa-syllabus.pdf

How many exams should one take before applying to an entry level job? Or what do you think the optimal path for a senior in university? Thank you
@jxyang44

Based on a recent poll from 100+ employers, about 40% won't consider your resume unless you have 2 exams. Another 20% prefer 3+, so I would aim for 2-3. Prior internship experience, good interview skills, location, and a number of other variables are going to factor into the hiring process well. If your university has an actuarial network, use those resources to your advantage. Hope that helps. Good luck.
