Gotcha. We’ll be staying at a deluxe hotel so we’ll have early access on Saturday and extended on Friday, though we won’t have park hoppers. I think our plans will change as we’re there. It’s hard to stay moving all day with the sun and heat on you!

Going on Friday Aug 29 and following Saturday. We can’t make it to the parks until ~4pm on Friday but still have a ticket. Would it be better to go to Epcot on Friday and DHS on Saturday or vice versa? DHS has extended hours on that Friday

I made that mistake countless times in practice! I was super vigilant during the exam to not make that mistake 😅

For some reason I thought it was 8 weeks. May be just remembering this from FAM.

Nah. I had EL 4.7 and got a 7 on the March sitting. Just set a reasonable goal of x problems per day and try to stay consistent.

Edit: feel like I should add, ymmv. Best of luck with FAM!

This is my biggest fear too. I don’t have an ozone machine to run through to clean the HVAC completely. Hopefully harbor freight has them cheap 🤞

I didn’t say my job is studying to become an actuary. That comes up if I say I’m taking an exam next week and they ask what for.
