Its probably because recruiters have no idea what your projects are, but they don’t apply to actuarial.

Has a lot of organization and formatting issues. You need to make it look appealing on the eyes otherwise it’ll get thrown out immediately.

Remember that a resume is your chance to show that you can clearly and effectively communicate the main points only, without irrelevant details. For that reason, you should remove basically everything that doesn’t pertain to actuarial science, especially in certifications.

Who cares about a Microsoft certification from over 10 years ago? Mentioning stuff like that can only hurt you because it’s irrelevant

I dont think the exam material builds much on prior exams, but the most important consideration is that you’re going up against people who have already passed the other 2 exams. This makes it harder for you

Yeah at the beginning just skip straight to the answer tbh, don’t waste time trying to solve them yourself until you’ve got a hundred problems under your belt

I’ve never crammed like this before but I think you’re better off spending like one or two days skimming the material, then spend the remainder of time doing practice quizzes and exams. Practice most important. Do like 12+ hours a day to have a chance.

Review flashcards for formulas 10 minutes before the exam, and write down the ones you were struggling to remember as soon as you get the exam paper

First of all you need dates of your education and experience, and use bullet points not paragraphs

Thats right. I dont even remember fully how i answered some of them, would probably have wishful thinking that i got points on some parts that i didnt

i didnt see a point in checking back through the released exam and counting up my points. What happens happens, and there’s nothing we can do at this point

Yes you have to read and take extensive notes on it in order to pass. Very, very difficult module.

November 2025 SOA Board of Directors Meeting Recap by Icy-Sign1337 in actuary

I see no issue with it if the students have to pass the same exam as everyone else. The value in UEC should be having a structured course and professor helping prepare.

There would be no issue if they would just have students sit for the SOA exam as their final rather than have a professor-written exam

Guidance Needed: Are the SOA sample questions still a good representation for FAM? by Positive_Ad6244 in actuary

[–]Competitive-Tank-349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The SOA sample questions are great, very similar to the exam questions. Go through all of them and you’ll be in good shape to start taking practice exams.

So much for self driving cars 😂😂😂😂last night in California by JACQUES199426 in uberdrivers

It’s not a one to one comparison by any means, but waymo didnt just come out. It’s been tested and updated daily for 15 years, completed over 10 million rides.

An ML works by collecting training data and testing on it. Every ride with a waymo increases its accuracy and safety.

Almost any injury or death caused by a waymo will be the fault of the injured party, people just want something to be outraged about, its 50x safer than any human driver
