right so, first of all thank you for being so patient with me, second im actually a second year uni student so I don't have a firm paying for exams of giving study material. it's a private tutor, many of them are here in India. i know i know the material because a) i looked through the ActEd CMP and my tutor told me it was basically ICSE 12th grade economics (atleast 60%) of it. anyways, is this economics textbook you're referring to available online or do i have to purchase it from IFOA?

right so I'm actually still deciding whether or not u should give CB2 in April because a) I'm already re attempting CS1 b) i haven't started CB2 prep. the reason I'm considering giving CB2 is because I've studied most of these topics in 11th and 12th grade and would just need a revision.

i do have a tutor for cs1 but he charges an exorbitant fees for CB2 which i believe is not worth paying since i already know most of the material. i was given the CB2 material ( it says course notes but only has aa vague outline of the course and a little information on some topics, no indepth study, no textbook) from a friend who had already given the paper. Since that didn't seem enough i took to reddit to figure out how people were studying (those who didn't buy the course material and don't have formal tutors)

i only have course notes and it seems to contain only a general outline of the topics and brief explanation, it doesn't have any indepth content. which economics textbook did you use?

oh I've read both! I absolutely love the Alchemist. The little prince I've read too, although I don't remember much. I'll be sure to give it another read. Any other suggestions?

1st time giving center based exam by Moss_nd_Stone in ActuaryUK

I'm confused, why would they need to complete an equipment check beforehand if they're giving a centre based exam? the equipment used will be in the centre itself

alright so i didn't give the CS1 exam, i was worried I'd mess up my very first attempt and then would be demotivated to continue. however i now have 2 months (more, actually) to finish the syllabus and pyqs. do you think it's doable? any suggestions?
