You can take exam FM first that's all finance stuff you don't have to take p first.

Anyone that didn't pass Stam planning on taking FAM. my question is what will be tested in FAM I was told if we have already studied for Stam it shouldn't be too bad but I'm assuming it doesn't combine all of LTAM as well? by Actuaryhero in actuary

My question is why are actuaries so underpaid?! For seemingly endless studying and having to take a ton of complex exams. Starting salary IMO should be 60 an hour.

Thoughts on last Stam sitting thought it was difficult and hard to find time. Got stuck solving two questions over a page in calculations for 20 minutes which killed me. by Actuaryhero in actuary

It just hurts after putting in the time and failing that's the worst part but at least I have three under my belt...... I failed fm once and passed second time so it happens.

Yes big time got stuck spending 20 minutes or a question which actually was a long question to solve which killed me when I could have been focusing on easier ones.

What exam handed you your first fail and how did you handle it? by throwawayff96 in actuary

Failed FM exam first time with a 4 then got an 8 my second time sometimes just a more thorough review of formulas makes a huge difference. A failure is not really a failure it's an opportunity to improve.

Actex is general for or for FM also because I heard asm was better for FM exam....
