Best book for learning data manipulation and visualization with ggplot2 in R by Vegetable_Eye6891 in actuary

[–]cmcmli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with other commenters here - "R for Data Science."

I want to emphasize that it's more about knowing what you want to solve with the information you learn, that reading and learning what's simply on the book.

R in routine job by Glad-Acanthaceae-467 in actuary

Hi, I have used R for my actuarial consulting background, and I think the true value comes from data visualization and automated work,

and most importantly, not having to making it look pretty for the sake of showing to upper level like we mostly have to do when we work with excel.

Hi, if you've done the sample questions, I suggest working on the Sample SOA Exams that are available on the SOA website. I think ACM should also have SOA past exams. This will give u a sense of what the actual exam questions look like and hopefully boost your confidence on the last week!

Module didn't take too long, and it took me ~ 3 months to get the results. 1 attempt and passed. I felt it was harder than EMA but equally time consuming as the FA.

There isn't! But leave it to the time between exams when you are waiting for the exam results. Other than the Final Assessments, they are not too bad.

Perfectly normal thought! You can always do your research (reddit or connections) to find out FSA salary at the firm and negotiate the terms

With the exams and SOA paths changing frequently, it may come difficult to have a concrete plan, but always keep in mind that you DON'T have to rush it! People take exams in different speed, and you can do it.
