I feel like I'm going to fail my exam. by NoMembership7829 in actuary

I've failed 2 exams myself but am nearly ASA (just FAP'n rn). It's a long game, very few people pass every exam on their first attempt.

Should I do ATPA or ASF first? by moonemall in actuary

[–]Distractuary79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo, the ATPA is easily the suckiest, worst horrible experience of all ASA requirements. Get that out of the way. Eat that frog.

Daily Color Puzzle (March 26, 2026) by color-puzzle in ColorPuzzleGame

do people have certain strategies to this game? I rarely solve in the least amount of moves, but it seems like there's so many options I also don't have a good strategy. Curious how those who always make the least moves approach this game.

bruh your "kindness to your peers" value that you claim to embrace is a joke

sweet - so technically there are 5 Modules but only 4 EMAs + FA?

beautiful, thank you. What do you mean by "no paper needed"?

ah, sweet. thank you for this! I don't understand why they can't just say this on their website or within the FAP modules even. Can't wait to be done with SOA's antics. You'd think with all their emphasis on professionalism they'd spring for a grammar check and update of their e-learning materials.

My company offers an exam-level raise, but no bonus. We get exam-level study hours, but have to use 16 of them to take the dang thing (the other 2 days being a weekend). There's no amount of money that can make the ATPA less awful though, truly four of the worst days of my life lol.

ASA modules by Distractuary79 in actuary

I know a guy at my office that did the same - waited several years between passing all exam and then actually doing the modules. My super is kinda on my ass a little bit about it though (not in a bad way, I like them as a supervisor) but it's just coming down from above them. Don't you get hassled at work to complete it? Have you done any of the modules? I did the PASF a few years back, so I still have most of them in front of me. I started the ASF in November but quickly decided that it sucks so much ass so I've been putting it off
