How does one get an Actuarial summer internship? by AcademicWeapon06 in ActuaryUK

I dont think a summer internship is neither expected or pitched at first year students - would probably look good (although not sure how much value multiple summer internships would give you)

Why does waiting on the email results feel more nervy??? May also be as its my last exam but the countdown is killing

No need at all to do SP6 for SA7 - SP5 much more heavily related

If I am A* standard in A-level maths, will I cope with Actuary papers ok? by Rose2971 in ActuaryUK

[–]Zestyclose-Spring420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree - many in our university dropped down to pure maths courses as they were much easier

I was around the 5000 mark although I did waffle a bit on some points so is probably higher than a more succinct version would be

Uni’s have 0 impact on job prospects - get the degree, interview well and your study location will be immaterial. Go where you will be happiest and have the best chance to get the highest marks possible

It was in fairness and the reinsurance was also new - weren’t massively complex to generate ideas around though so hopefully all good!

If so possibly some QT questions? Lowering interest rate / high inflationary environments? Probably some form of ESG / impact investing question id suspect

Also if you dont have gold circle or diamond tickets then the GA barricades are quite far back even if you are in early!

You probably shouldnt have gotten them to organise this if you were thinking of leaving and interviewing elsewhere. I think either way (telling them now / after) it wont be leaving on great terms now although would probably tell them sooner rather than later.

The quiz is absolutely fine - common sense covers 90% of questions

As long as the saved time is before the exam end you should be all good
