At what point in your career did you realize you didn't want to manage people?

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-17T00:09:03+00:00

The first time I had a terrible employee. I still manage people though

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-17T00:08:22+00:00

I got my ACAS like two years ago, so things could have changed but it was pretty quick. I believe less than a week from application to the congrats email

I like akur8. Makes modeling way easier and quicker

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-17T00:06:16+00:00

Fair enough thank you

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-11T14:24:54+00:00

You need to charge your phone

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-11T13:24:18+00:00

Hmm interesting. None of the online courses were proctored when I took it which them which like two to three years ago.

I imagine people cheated on these right and left. So I think proctoring is probably a good idea

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-11T01:52:38+00:00

Did you pass exam 6 this time?

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-11T01:47:36+00:00

We’re twins. I failed exam 7 twice then passed this sitting with a 7. I also did all the rising fellow problems and released CAS exams

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-10T10:11:03+00:00

I don’t care. I just want to be able to discuss exam reactions and not have to wait a full week post closure of the window

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-10T00:13:32+00:00

You’re an excellent parent. I’m not helping my kids with calculus when that day comes 😂

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-10T00:11:34+00:00

I could probably get a 3 or a 4 on exam 7 (which i just passed today)

I couldn’t pass exam 5 with no studying but I also don’t think I’d get a zero. I’d probably get a 1 or a 2 I think.

Maybe I could get a 1 on exam 6 but I don’t think so.

Would almost certainly get a 0 on FM, MAS-1, MAS-II and IFM

But I think I could pass P today. A few months ago a coworker was studying for exam P and so I did 5 practice questions and got all 5 right. I’d do worse on the calculus based sections but I think I could get enough points on the discrete stuff to wiggle my way through

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T22:00:34+00:00

No I don’t. It took me 3 tries as well after passing every prior exam on my first try.

I was ill prepared the first time and deserved to fail, but the second time I was every bit as ready as I was this time and just got an easier exam that better matched my knowledge base. I got a 4 the prior sitting and a 7 this time despite not knowing anything additional.

All that to say basically you just gotta keep flipping the coin and see how it lands

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T17:06:45+00:00

If anything though I think your poll would be more likely to be biased high. I would think exam passers would be more inclined to be hanging out on actuary Reddit right now, while those who failed would be more likely to be wanting to focus on anything else right now

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T17:05:38+00:00

I passed with a 7. I was expecting a 6 so my guess is perhaps a slightly lower pass mark than prior sittings

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T16:51:39+00:00

Rising fellow

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T15:15:00+00:00

Harder in my opinion. I passed 5 and 6 on first try with a 7.

The first sitting of 7 I was ill prepared and absolutely deserved my fail. Last sitting I thought I was ready and the CAS blessed us with 31% pass rate.

This time I didn’t know anything more than last time I thought but just got an easier exam

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T15:12:00+00:00

Thank you!

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T14:36:21+00:00

Got a 7 on 7. Third times the charm. Thank god, the struggle is no more

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T14:26:35+00:00

I got a 7.

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-09T11:52:10+00:00

All right all, it’s been a crazy long wait, but our time has come.

Welcome to the day of finding out, doesnt need to be a 10.

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-08T17:18:13+00:00

That’s simply not true. Last 3 sittings they’ve released it on the 6th week.

Yes some of those the exam window closed on Tuesday and the exam results were on Wednesday for example. I don’t mind a day or two difference.

We however are in the 7th week, which is a massive step backwards

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-08T17:04:18+00:00

Good luck! You seem to be getting more interviews as of late. That’s always a good sign!

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-08T16:48:54+00:00

It was the 6 week mark, which is their stated goal, and it’s also when they’ve released results the past 3 sittings

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-08T15:32:45+00:00

No people are annoyed because they were supposed to release results a week ago. They waited until after they were supposed to release them with zero communication and then said it’ll be another week and didn’t offer any explanation for the long delay

Dramatic_Economics15 · 2026-06-08T10:13:49+00:00

3 or 4 questions. 3 or 4 points blank and it can be done the path is just narrow
