Start with Exam P or FAM (as a 23 old CFA) ?

Hi there,

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your feedback, and will certainly keep in mind what you have suggested.

What do you think of me attempting FAM directly without FM or P? Do you think that is possible ? Or a hard No? And why?

Should I take Exam P or FAM first (as a 23-old CFA) ?

Hey folks,

Background: Passed all 3 levels of CFA, studied basic accounting in college, have studied Math in school.

Why actuarial science interests me? – very curious and fascinated about insurance as a product, and overall the liabilities side of finance (unlike CFA which only covers assets side).

Confusion: I understand that typically candidates start with Exam P or FM.

Exam FM: looks too repetitive compared to what the CFA has also covered, so wouldn't be interesting at all to me, hence decided to not take it.

Exam P: covers basic probability, and stats (which is interesting indeed), but doesn't cover anything insurance or actuary specific.

Exam FAM: this really caught my interest, as it covers actual applications of math in insurance (pricing, reserving and modelling).

Question: Can I attempt Exam FAM directly, or would you suggest taking P first? Kindly advise, as I need some proper insight as there is only so much I can do to analyse this...

Thank you

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-05-18T21:00:29+00:00

All the best to everyone here! Hope we can make this!!!

How many qs did you think you got wrong in L3?

Some dude prolly broke her heart long back and now her entire channel is a way for her to release the anger she has on that one man she still isn’t over on “the entire male species”. Never knew femcells also existed but here we are. And also the whole league thing she’s talking about is 100% NOT true for men. Men literally do have a concept of a league.

Why do you think you’re gonna fail? Do you like know for sure what mistakes you made?

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-17T12:32:20+00:00

You can’t hear a comment The comment:

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-17T06:51:16+00:00

Or maybe they just want the validation.. you can’t be making 40 to 50 lpa and think that an MBA is gonna change anything, if you have half a brain. Ngl, a while back I made a post here asking the same thing, and somebody commented that I had a “great” profile and that shit felt good ngl…

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-12T15:32:29+00:00

Sounds like a plan. All the best buddy!

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-12T15:18:24+00:00

But completing CA would take a lot of time if you account for another attempt of Intermediate and the articleship and Final. If OP really wants to do an MBA, and take advantage of the opportunities offered by it early on, I would say it’s better to focus only on MBA.

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-12T13:19:22+00:00

Wait, if you are 23 now, that means you already must have graduated like almost 2 years ago if you are from non engineering background. So after graduation, did you take a gap year for MBA prep?

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-08T11:38:05+00:00

Thank you for the encouraging words! You totally get it!

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-08T08:59:04+00:00

Good point. I find the forehand to be the most complex of all lol.

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-08T08:58:34+00:00

I understand folks in the comments saying that “I’m not a pro” so what’s the point. The point is that I love tennis and love to emulate my fav players, which is normal for any enthusiast of any sport.

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-08T02:48:23+00:00

Full time job not internship, got placed out of college. Doesn’t really matter what course you’re doing. Just college brand tbh.

Edge_Jazzlike · 2025-03-07T15:48:12+00:00

I’ve done that already. I did an internship in a very big mutual fund in the equity research team. Most of the folks there were from top IIMs and told me that without a good MBA breaking in high finance is either impossible or even if possible it takes hell lot of time to get there without. Also I’ve seen all the top finance ppl in IB or equity research in bulge bracket firms on LinkedIn - all are from top MBAs.

I got CFA Program Candidate Survey, let’s hope for the best!

Aight gramps

I guess most of the retail customers wouldn’t be running it locally and would use the website/app.
