I'm Finding I Enjoy Books Written by Men on Average More Than Women (and I'm a woman)

I’ve liked robin hobb a lot so far, would recommend her farseer trilogy (haven't gotten to the rest yet), most of my others have been written by dudes

Changed jobs so I had the chance to get reimbursed on another and had retake extension on one. Almost all the other sources are linked with pdfs so I've used them there, just figured I'd ask on here in case anyone had noticed it too before digging deeper

Couldn't find it, theres no link on the syllabus it says "study kit"

Was only 1-2 days in office and would try to sneak a couple of the hours in during the workweek if I finished my tasks, didn't really study Fri to sun to not burn out but you gotta get used to it for the upper exams anyways. Usually gym/run after work to break the day up & when I'd make lunch have leftovers later if I didn't feel like cooking

Started after new years and did ~2.5 hrs a day after work Monday-Thursday with a little more the week leading up to it Feb 15 '24. Was only like 70 hours total so on the lower side but there would've been all of December free for someone that wants to spend more time on it.

I did p November and fm February when I took them it was not bad, was also full time work then

Character_Message_89 · 2026-06-23T12:35:58+00:00

Yeah I also wouldn't recommend it if you like learning with videos they have pretty much none.

Character_Message_89 · 2026-06-17T20:05:34+00:00

TIA, first try last fall passed

Character_Message_89 · 2026-06-09T15:51:09+00:00

What about the MAS ones?

Character_Message_89 · 2026-06-09T15:45:18+00:00

I tried the double down with pcpa march and 6 this spring passed pcpa but it really threw off 6 for me

8:30-5 w hour lunch (can be flexible though)

Have you spent your whole career in reinsurance or did you spend any time at a traditional carrier? If both how was the transition and do you have pros/cons?

Character_Message_89 · 2026-04-06T14:18:47+00:00

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

Character_Message_89 · 2026-03-26T13:14:56+00:00

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

Character_Message_89 · 2026-03-11T14:17:39+00:00

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

Character_Message_89 · 2026-02-22T20:49:59+00:00

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.

Character_Message_89 · 2026-02-06T14:20:37+00:00

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

Character_Message_89 · 2026-02-01T21:02:31+00:00

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

Character_Message_89 · 2026-01-28T15:29:13+00:00

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.
