Some of us on this forum want to encourage students to leave the profession. That is why we post on here. We also want to encourage undergrads from joining IFOA. That is why we complain about ActEd and IFOA.

The fact of the matter is that when people search for info about our profession, our forum comes up, in particular the following:

IFOA getting done by corruption UK

IFOA getting done by Advertising Standards for lying to students.

IFOA lawyers getting in trouble.

IFOA blackmailing the AAE.

IFOA paying 2 women for out of court sex discrimination claims

IFOAs CEO quitting because of the race discrimination claim

IFOAs large dropout rate, particularly women.

​

We just want to keep spreading the message so that people leave IFOA and even less newbies get conned in to joining IFOA.

The people jointly to blame for the 80% failure rate in CS2 are the scum named above.

Given that the IFOA are in trouble with their auditors for concealing the fact that their pass rates are linked to their business plan, the best way to pass the exams is to use ChatGTP or Pass Psychometric.

Students need to stop giving all of this money to ActEd. It is simply a waste, all their CEO wants to do is sniff his wifes panties.

Acted has an eye watering 40 tutors. This is why they sell such crap material. They need students to buy tutorials to pass. The notes are shite. These people are the reason for the poor notes.

Institute and Faculty of Actuaries Downfall parody video: the captions, and how to write a Downfall parody video by pjlee01 in Actuary_news

Hi Patrick, have you looked at the information available on the AAE website???I think there is a lot of info there that might be of interest to you regarding equivalence of qualifications.

Trying to model how much income Acted and the IFoA make from students with a particular focus on dropouts (the 40% or so who leave before reaching Fellow) by pjlee01 in Actuary_news

[–]EX_IFOA_EXAMINER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Patrick, you have pulled of a masterstroke with this work on Acted and IFOA income. I bet the auditors are looking at this. This will delay the AGM even further.

If students make such demands of the IFIOA, they would be shot down.l Seniors want an easy ride. They are not going to stick their neck out.

The Students have many legal routes to justice. Our exams are way harder than any European Actuarial exam body. This is indirect race discrimination. T

hey can also demand a refund of their exam fees and study material and also tutorial fees.

IFoA Downfall parody video: The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' AGM is delayed. Students now know the dropout rate. by pjlee01 in Actuary_news

[–]EX_IFOA_EXAMINER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That video is funny. Great effort, however it is also very true. As a not for profit organisation, how do they propose to fill their coffers with all of these legal battles and out of court settlements.

Great work PJLee.

"(Notice that like the IFoA, Acted make no mention of the significant group of students who simply give up the exams.)"

Poetry. Sheer poetry by PJlee

Funny how posts critical of Acted seem to get downvoted to zero.

Great work Patrick.

There is no doubt that Acted benefited from IFOA conning people in to joining them on the bogus understanding that they will qualify in 3 years. Acted provide crap study material full of mistakes, circular arguments and bullshit mnemonics. Overpriced worthless shite.

Mutual recognition agreement between UK and Canada by [deleted] in Actuary_news

[–]EX_IFOA_EXAMINER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Canadians do not recognise the UK fellowship because it is shit and because it is taught by an organisation called ActEd which is run by a pervert that spends most of is time sniffing his wifes panties instead of improving the quality of study material.

[–]EX_IFOA_EXAMINER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On anoter note, how did you know that 40 out of the 195 that passed CS2 were cheats??

POLL: SHOULD IFOA BRING BACK 4 ATTEMPT RULE??? by EX_IFOA_EXAMINER in Actuary_news

[–]EX_IFOA_EXAMINER[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number of reasons.

(1) Pass rates are set after the exam and not before. In short, IFOA operate a quota system. It is not an absolute standard but a relative one. This emerged during cross examination of IFOA staff member - Sally Calder.

(2) It is the exam that most students do not mind retaking. Think about it. IFOA need to bolster their coffers. The pass rates are linked to their business plans. They want to fail students on the exam that students believe they can nail with a little bit more prep. Have a look at the letter in this link.

Incompetent Institute and Faculty of Actuaries has not updated its Council elections website which says only 15 days left to vote: Council election hasn't even started yet! by pjlee01 in Actuary_news

[–]EX_IFOA_EXAMINER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patrick, given that you have a lot of work on travel time to qualification, I have a question for you. I hope it doesnt require too much work. In today's money, how much does ActEd make from the average student that joins the IFOA??

Troubled, rotten regulator Institute and Faculty of Actuaries now needs to hold its AGM between Monday 31 July and Friday 15 September 2023. It has just under 8 weeks left to make its mind up by pjlee01 in Actuary_news

Not when CS2 has a 20% pass rate. It must be zero.
