A Visual Guide to Actuarial Exams in 2023 | SOA Exams

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.

Great video! I learned so much about the actuarial exams. Nice graphics!

Great effort here Jeff, I love how you focused on the details but still kept it general and provided amazing insights 👏, keep it up!

Excellent video, I'll be watching your channel to see what's next!

definitely getting easier! some of the new exams (SRM, PA) were a straight joke

This is absolutely amazing! I wish we have something similar for IFOA and CAS!

Hi Jeff, as promised, your LinkedIn family is here to support 👏🏽

Very well made and informative!

I thought P is 2.5 hours too

Thank you!

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

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!!!!

Well done very informative 🎉🎉

Jeff - Could you please post similar video for CAS as well?

dang what a great video! Thank you for making this!

Thank you for such wonderful contributions Jeff, I'm getting started on the exams and I love how you break down all the information in your videos, keep going :)

Wow. I am very impressed. This video is pretty well done and very informative. Good job Jeff.

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.

Wow well done. I've long given up on trying to understand exam changes. They just keep making more changes 🙈🙈

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS AWESOME VIDEO

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

Is this for the UK actuarial exams? I don't think so, but I am unsure.

We at the University master, learned all this topics, why should pass again?

I'll be appearing for SRM in sept 2024, you mentioned a free source material in your ppt, where can i access it?

this was super helpful. i'm looking to make a pivot and this breaks down the path perfectly

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.

Thank you so much. Amazing video here.

How many hours f study is needed to pass exams P and FM?

Can one attempt both at the same time?

I am a retired insuer at 53 and I can give my best shot to earn Actuarial Science Qualification but I need the best and shortest route.

Sitting down at home with nothing much to do, i guess I can do it?

Please advise

Hey Jeff, what is your take on CAS vs SOA?
How different are the prelims now compared to the old system? You had 5 carry over back in my day, now it seems like 2 only? What was the purpose of this?
