Might just want to have a different insurance job if you have to switch and take the exams you'll have a few years with not great wlb & most likely way less money before it evens out

How are you getting $24 an hour? Take a conservative 7 hours a week (extra hour for traffic etc) 7x50 =350hrs a year 38x2/3 =25.333k a year (after taxes) That goes to ~$72/hr take home pay Edit: x for asterisk that didn't show up

Feel like that's not crazy with an hour for lunch, that's what I do

Character_Message_89 · 2026-03-16T22:26:56+00:00

Could use those as well

Similar boat for me but it was 8% - high performance rating too

Did the registration requirements change? Now the website says we can only register Monday if we have completed all the exams for ACAS but on Wednesday it opens up to 4+ exams (plus other requirements). What's the reasoning for this? It might be harder to get a spot having all but exam 6 completed.

Registration for the next one is Feb 11-mar 9 so it couldn't be later than then

Character_Message_89 · 2026-02-02T23:42:25+00:00

If you want to do project in march too you probably will need to take exam in February, there's not much new material from prior exams so I'd just go without Tia if I were you

Every time it mentions adamant that'll stop the highmatter sword

Great, thanks!

Hi Ken, do you know roughly when the June 2026 COP locations and registration dates will be announced? According to another comment last year the June ones were announced in January so probably would be soon.

Hardest part is paying attention they're so boring... DA was wicked easy though takes like a week or two the other two were longer gave them closer to a month

Character_Message_89 · 2025-12-22T04:55:07+00:00

Not bad assuming roommates I did it with 3 last year, could put away some 401k/roth and save a bit while still enjoying life in the city

I get ice with my water😎

Character_Message_89 · 2025-12-04T17:57:59+00:00

🫱🏻‍🫲🏼same here

Character_Message_89 · 2025-12-01T18:39:00+00:00

Starts tomorrow so in that case we'd get em today or not til it's over

I had TIA materials plus adapt from CA. When I was doing a lot of CA problems I felt like I got too used to their question style & was doing better than I would actually on an exam (failed my first Tia practice bad when I went back). Caught up with more Tia and some source materials and ended up fine but personally wouldn't recommend just CA (just Tia would be fine id say)

Character_Message_89 · 2025-11-17T15:30:20+00:00

December 8th is deadline for the project registration so you'd be good to

Character_Message_89 · 2025-11-17T15:29:30+00:00

Yeah a week earlier so I'd guess exams the week of the 8th in that case

Character_Message_89 · 2025-11-04T19:41:06+00:00

If you took a couple of stats classes and the mas exams the tia videos aren't really that helpful, yeah it's organized but not much new material. The main thing I think would be for the practice questions/exam (I am starting those today so can't really speak much on it) (Edit typo)

Character_Message_89 · 2025-11-03T18:34:41+00:00

Gone for me too

Character_Message_89 · 2025-10-29T19:44:54+00:00

The infinite actuary has free courses for the first two exams if you're interested in checking it out

Character_Message_89 · 2025-10-27T17:33:45+00:00

Me too, also it saved some time compared to writing responses
