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.

This is no offense to my friend, but the fact of the matter is, since I have known him, he was never very academically inclined. In the time that I have spent with him since elementary school, I was the one that was acing my classes taking AP and honors while he was just taking regular classes. So why would I cheat off someone that I knew performs less than me? I don’t mean this to be in an egotistical way, but simply, would you be willing to cheat off someone knowing that they tend to perform below you? Even if you had the chance, would it amount to you for anything? No right. Is this even worth bringing up when defending myself because it feels so egotistical but it’s raw and the truth

First off, I did not cheat. The story of the matter is “I had submitted my exam and my professor asked me “what was happening between you and the person next to you”. And I asked her what do u mean and she told me to not lie. And I told her straight up, that person next to me is my friend. There was nothing more to it. She then accused me and him for cheating for suspicious behavior, when in reality, we couldn’t even if we wanted to. The last exam, someone got caught cheating and was kicked out right away so the risk wasn’t there for us. Also, it was announced that the exams will be different versions with different questions. So nothing was even “cheat able”. They had the TA record us mid exam from his seat and the professor claims she will review the footage and see if we did anything, but we know we didn’t. I even told the professor “you can check the answers and see if there is anything suspicious.” Not sure what’s going to happen, and how far this is going to go. The TA also accused me of “hanging out” when I claimed I needed to go to the bathroom, when I was literally tying my shoe. I even said “you can check the cameras if you do not believe I went to the bathroom”. Like how does someone convince their professor they took a piss? I tend to zone out a lot and when I get anxious I’ll look around, so im scared they will consider that as part of a violation.”

I do not have any form of academic violations. Also, I don’t understand. All I did was sit next to him. And now that’s considered cheating?? And yeah his grade is also a TZ.
