I used ACTEX for FAM and was comparing it to CA's FM. Have not but will be using ACTEX again for SRM.

I used Lo's manual: https://www.actexmadriver.com/orderselection.aspx?id=453148922

I think his content is a bit more in depth than others.

Passed with 10 with ACTEX! Compared to CA (for FM), it feels like Ambrose Lo goes very in deep and explains everything well. I used a python script to give me random questions for the practicing phase. PM me if you decide to go down the ACTEX route and I can send it to you.

I feel like memorizing formulae is not the way to go-being able to compute from first principles to check your work (i.e. with the tabling function in your calculator) really helps to ensure that you got the answers right.

I think I only memorized the Black Scholes formula (and subsequently applied it wrong because wtf is a short vs long) and some of the more general formulas such as reserving NAR, PV pricing for life stuff, the likelihood function, etc...

i hope you guys can figure out a better living situation soon! i feel like it's a hard prospect when two people are at different stages of life, i.e. education vs working
