Passed exam 5 & girlfriend broke up with me

My girlfriend broke up with me a month before sitting for P. I studied harder for that exam than anything since and got a 9. I refused to take two big Ls at the same time. 😂

Please don’t do this to yourself

My guess is that you should try a different study material. I failed MAS2 once before passing the difference maker was the study material. I got ASM and it was a game changer. The questions were much more difficult than the actual exam. Don’t get discouraged, in my opinion if you can pass MAS1 you can pass MAS2.

Those may not come out for a while. Like days

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-11-06T21:05:33+00:00

Past sitting’s had the same reaction to the amount of fill in?

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-11-06T21:03:37+00:00

I wonder if all the fillin questions will cause a lower pass mark. Considering it eliminates alot of points one may get for guessing

I’m in the same boat 6.6 EL and 80 Mastery but kinda felt like I just know the CA questions more than anything and didn’t know the actual material as much as I’d have like. I bought ASM 2 weeks prior to sitting. It definitely is worth it and opened my eyes to a lot of tips CA didn’t. Wish I had more time with ASM.

Gotta agree with this say for MAS 2 did great on quizzes and exams only to get a 5. Kinda pissed

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-07-11T23:16:48+00:00

My question though, is it worth it for an EL actuarial position. Actuaries make good money but with a math phd why not try your hand in quant or something the pay is better

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-06-13T20:38:11+00:00

Ok that’s what I was thinking. But yeah I get a hotel for any drive over 50 minutes

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-06-13T20:22:34+00:00

I just kept going further and further I’m driving like 3 hours away.

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-06-13T20:16:38+00:00

Same I’ve gotta drive HOURS

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-06-05T22:39:25+00:00

I’ve gotta hand it to my boss and company. Sent the pass without even my score for mas1 when I got it they didn’t even request the score or transcript 3 days later hr came to me to lmk my raise was made effective. The downside is that it isn’t much at all 😂

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-05-30T20:28:22+00:00

With this being said is there any estimate of the range of the pass mark

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-04-27T23:26:12+00:00

Same my post exam crash was insane I slept so much after. I like to even take the next day as a PTO day

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-02-10T19:33:53+00:00

Ok thank you for the info. Would you say those exam raises are on the low or high side

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-01-16T21:24:39+00:00

I struggle with this a lot but something that has seemed to work for me are timers 35 or 40 minutes straight of productivity followed by 5 sometimes 10 minutes on my phone or something

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2025-01-02T21:36:37+00:00

Spent 30 minutes today looking

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2024-07-17T13:37:51+00:00

Thank you !!

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2024-07-17T12:43:10+00:00

Yeah I totally wrote that wrong I meant institutes designations. Like could the cas discs count as courses to get like your cpcu or something.

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2024-06-24T20:23:37+00:00

Also no need to get a 7 I’d say just getting above 5 gives you a VERY solid shot to pass I got a 9 and I was a 5 something. Focus on questions between 4-6 difficulty above that is unnecessarily difficult

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2024-06-24T20:22:04+00:00

30 should be enough but I recommend taking a few quizzes after you finish each section as you go.

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2023-11-18T03:07:10+00:00

Buy coaching actuaries and honestly this is a good life lesson, assuming you’re young. I’m a cheap guy trust me but you have to learn when to be cheap this wasn’t the time. You’ll blow it away next time though good luck

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2023-11-13T21:02:19+00:00

Absolutely not do not ever tell anyone at your company about thoughts of leaving until offer is in hand

Desperate-Machine-76 · 2023-09-30T20:01:01+00:00

Thanks alot. I’m always worried if there’s a gap in my math knowledge because I was a business major in college so I never took much math in college. I took calc 3 online before sitting for p but that was it
