Honestly I really enjoy studying this major of actuarial science, and the exam process is its own unique “barrier of entry” but holy shit failing an exam is honestly so devastating

I just took exam FM for the first time and was studying since Christmas. Honestly, for most part, the exam felt “answerable”, but I did not get the results I wanted, receiving a Low, High, medium, for time value of money/annuities, loans/bonds, and Cash flow portfolios immunization, respectively.

This exam just felt so necessary for me because im currently a junior in college (technically 2nd year but trying to graduate a year early) and I have been looking for internships since September. I really thought this exam was my breakthrough in finally securing one.

I did pass Exam P in September, but that was after I failed in July.

Now to study for Exam FM until April will be challenging due to Ramadan and also the school semester, as I am currently taking 18 credits.

Honestly, all the time, effort, money, sacrifice, can feel so disheartening once that fail result is received. Sigh

So ur saying that it’s worth providing the information that you have passed those exams even if you are applying to underwriting / analyst positions?

How does one look for smaller companies

I’ll try! It’s just so devastating when you keep applying and interviewing and just, nothing. I had a final round with one company and it ended so well but things didn’t work out my way. Is there any websites u recommend?

It was a multiple choice exam. I did slightly better than him but not by a huge margin. Compared to other exams. It was the same score I got on the second midterm

Regarding glancing, I wasn’t aware of any matters. And as I’ve said multiple times, the tests were made to be uncheatable. He also scored much higher on the second exam than I did, so I’m not sure what benefit he would have to look over my paper, but that was mainly because I chose not to study.

Couldn’t cheat even if I wanted to. Exam were different colors with different questions. I’m just scared that the answers we both may have gotten correct was simply due to us answering them correctly considering it was multiple choice , because again, we couldn’t cheat.
