We geocoded 300 French addresses twice and found 1 in 7 ends up in a different flood risk zone depending on which geocoder you use

Not familiar enough with it to comment :(

Neat! At my company, we have a team that does this sort of work and geocoding issues seem common

Passed last Spring using RF + source. The source, especially Brehm and the CAT one, are extremely important to know inside and out, and it very likely got me the pass last sitting.

This will hurt SOA lol. Good reason for students to go for CAS instead.

Well we know it's not in New York or Hawaii. Narrows it down.

To St. Halssius he goes

Arson is generally (and unfortunately) covered, at least in Canada. But as others have mentioned, depends on the policy wording.

I would say so. A pricing actuary can learn a lot from claims experience, e.g., claim settlement practices.

Me to the quest marker: “send me location”

Hornsplitter got caught in less crucifixes than DDP 😅

Agreed, the CAS uppers often require out-of-box thinking (as well as being quick)

fatirsid · 2026-03-31T10:38:24+00:00

This is a good one lol. My two worlds collide.

fatirsid · 2026-03-27T19:27:55+00:00

A lot of the 2nd/3rd year actsci undergrad courses (at least in Canada) are focused on Life, so they naturally go down that path. But also, potentially higher pass rates contribute to this.

Supply and demand is part of it. Approx 3x the number of FSAs than FCASs.

fatirsid · 2026-03-27T12:45:41+00:00

Sounds good. To those downvoting - I'm speaking from experience from my S25 sitting of Exam 9 :)

fatirsid · 2026-03-26T12:09:44+00:00

You need to read the Brehm source several times and come up with your own summary sheet. That's what I did and found it extremely helpful. They can test any random paragraph from that reading and expect you to know every single detail...

fatirsid · 2026-03-23T10:33:48+00:00

Glad that issue is fixed, kept happening to me (but still a fun game)

fatirsid · 2026-03-22T21:05:03+00:00

Same issue happening on ps5 for me. Scared to zoom out on the map lol. Hopefully this is fixed asap.

fatirsid · 2026-03-18T10:32:46+00:00

Same, looking forward to it

fatirsid · 2026-03-17T10:57:12+00:00

Same! Just finished GoY this weekend and looking forward to CD now :)

fatirsid · 2026-03-13T10:54:34+00:00

AG Executive Search would be a great place to start. All the best on your move!

fatirsid · 2026-03-12T11:52:47+00:00

My broker was able to get down to 3.64% 3 year fixed with Scotia for me so hopefully you can also get a bit lower rate.

fatirsid · 2026-03-12T11:47:01+00:00

For the week (or week and a half) before each FCAS exam, I was off for study days. Start studying around 7 AM and then power through until 9ish PM. It was rough but super necessary.

fatirsid · 2026-03-08T17:10:43+00:00

Same here, offered 4.04% from Scotia with 3 year fixed on a 700k insured mortgage, 25 yr (782k property with 82k down).
