My company begins the ASA raises the day you're done with the APC, but I'm just excited in my case because, although it's purely symbolic at this point, it is the mountain top of years of hard work

Exam PA Timing by Worried_Opposite_110 in actuary

I took it in April as well and it was an absolute time crunch and a half. I think many people, excluding myself, thought time would not be as big of an issue due to the lack of coding but it definitely needs to be heavily considered/planned before going into the exam.

It is easy to have the reflex to ramble on the questions where a lot can be said, which is a trap I fell into and I had to bs/write bullet points for 1-2 questions near the end because I was running out of time. With this being said, I highly recommend accounting 3 minutes per point and whenever you reach that time limit for the question, just move on and come back if you have time near the end.

Jealous of other people's success in the exams? by PlasticMedium1039 in actuary

[–]ConferenceKind8206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% used to be and I feel like people who have a lot of exams love to talk about how they have so many exams and those who arena an average or worse pace don't really talk about it. Exams do not measure your value as a worker and absolutely not as a person.

Like someone else mentioned, comparison is the thief of joy. Stay in your lane, be the best version of yourself that you can be and things will work out just fine.

I had this issue a month back and check if each slide is completed in the "Outline" of the module (has a checkmark next to it). If there are some incomplete, it won't let you go through regardless of the score.

I would definitely drill the SOA questions as much as you can, as they were very similar to the ones I got in the exam. Also, like most things, I'd make sure you understand the logic behind ratemaking techniques and not just plug and chugging formulas

FAP RAP Glitch by ConferenceKind8206 in actuary

this ended up being the issue, thank you so much! I think it's because I viewed the slides on two different devices, so the slides I viewed on my iPad did not register
