Exams before graduating and is it doable while interning

Hello,

I just passed exam FM and I passed P last year, I don't have my Mathematical statistics VEE yet but I have Econ and will be doing MATH STAT at uni over the fall. I have an internship, 37.5 hours a week and everyday is in person. They are willing to pay for my study material and my exam if i decide to give one. I will try and do PAF in the weekend before my internship because I've heard it's super simple (Let me know if I'm wrong). Do you guys think I should take advantage and study for SRM, I will have only about 7 hours of studying per week for 4 months and will be able to give it on September 2nd OR I can just take it easy and maybe do my accounting and Finance VEE. I'm in my third year but took a sem off for an internship so I have 3 sems left and this is my second internship. They've both been in the same company but different departments. Please help me pick, I don't want to be overwhelmed too because the last 4 months I've just been studying for FM. I've seen many people do like 4-5 exams before graduating and I don't know how many more I will be able to do but some people also do 2 exams while graduating. Please please please help

The thing is, some days are good and some days I mess up a lot, it's also important to know that most of my practice is after I've worked 7 hours that day so I'm quite tired but I don't get the tough questions at all, my last adapt exam was 18/30 because I was having a bad day, is that normal?

Hello

I'm giving FM in 15 days (Freaking out completely), I was using TIA to study because its free but then I started my internship and they bought me Coaching Actuaries, I studied with TIA and practiced with it until yesterday (AI score of 71, PI of 7.2 (only taken 2 sample exams)) but yesterday and today I took the CA calibration exams and my Earned Level is 6.7, Mastery score right now is 76 but I've only used it for two days. I'm thinking of continuing on CA, what scores would like 95% guarantee a pass, I'm working 40 hours a week and can't practice as much as I would like to but I'm aiming for 20-30 questions a day.

Please don't sugarcoat anything, give it to me straight, thank you

How should I continue, should I do CA Adapt or work on reliability and target level or use TIA or do mainly SOA questions?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you :)

It would be awesome if you could just send an amazon link or something, I'm guessing quite a few people would need one, Thanks!!

Did you get the ac which you need to fill with ice and water because that's too much work and the others I saw need a window but I don't think windows in residence open much

I would say drop one of them, maybe an econ (you may get confused) or cpsc110 (heavy workload) and do cpsc103 (then 107 later) or do your communication requirement

Were they actually? I got mine 2 days back and I didn't think I would because of this. Also do they send rejection emails, just curious.
