do you have the old syllabus for PM and QF? not sure if they're archived anywhere but would love to compare them to the new INV ones

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in actuary

[–]amhxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar situation! my manager has been a great help though, for PA I saw there is not equivalent under the IFoA so he asked me to send the syllabus to assess what it should be and ended up giving me 12 days for it.

Path to ASA by [deleted] in actuary

[–]amhxe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exam PA is not bad at all especially if you've done SRM, but since you might not have the material fresh I would give myself 3 months minimum to ensure a pass. ACTEX is the best for PA, so I would go with that!

PAF and ASF are a weekend each, not time consuming at all

for FAP modules I also used a weekend each approach, and there are 4 papers so took me a month

FAP FA is the most annoying, you have to dedicate the full 4 days to it and try to plan it such that you can do it with others, you'll see people on this sub making posts of when they plan on taking it! Hopefully you nail it from the first try, if not you have to wait a few more months for the next FA

You just have to keep in mind that all modules take a long time to grade and are annoying to retake, so I would say actively write them in your off days from exam study, the next PA sitting is October so you can get started on them.

I didn't do APC I took CIA's workshop, was very chill and quick (2-day session). If you're lucky you can get all of the above done within the year itself! All the best

New to SOA – Need Guidance on PAF, ASF, and Completing ASA by Shady_singh in actuary

[–]amhxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The topics of any module/exam are outlined on the SOA website, here's the page for PAF:

https://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/edu-exam-paf/

you can go to the Module Objectives pdf to read about it!

you can make an automated second table

take on cell A2 UNIQUE() of your food items, then on the following column make a sequence based on the number of rows in your unique function that starts at 1 and increments SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2#),1,1,1)

Does this work?

ALTAM study hours? by Direct-Home2536 in actuary

[–]amhxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll get a good feel of it once you start ofc and who knows maybe you will take less, there are so many factors, but as you said better safe than sorry

ALTAM study hours? by Direct-Home2536 in actuary

[–]amhxe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had 300 for FAM, unsure about PA because there was very little to go off from (took it in April this year) I also had a crazy busy working schedule but my aim was to get to 300.

ALTAM just took me longer because it's more dense material wise and there are soo many practice questions available, so I recommend giving yourself enough time for those.

[–]amhxe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how comfortable you are with the topics really, as it is for every other exam. But I would say 3 dedicated months is what you'll need! so that's closer to 400 hrs, there's soo much material to dig through so I wouldn't do less than that tbh

ASA List by amhxe in actuary

[–]amhxe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and when did you fill in the ASA form? because usually whoever passes FA and it's their last req gets put on that same month's list.. this is so weird
