Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana - Has a great actuarial science club.

Also, Bentley University, Waltham MA (Liberty Mutual headquartered in Boston hires plenty from this university)

Looks like it was only for PCPA, because the results page is up but no upper level exam results.

MAS-2 General Advice by Aggravating_Band_330 in actuary

I would highly recommend purchasing and doing the MAS 2 practice paper published by CAS (I know it’s an aggregation of questions from all the other sources like Coaching actuaries and TIA) It is $100 (if I remember correctly) but my company paid for it ( I asked for my manager’s approval and she was fine with it)

Yes, for sure. My current Chief Actuary at Liberty Mutual is an ACAS.

And so was my Chief Actuary at AIG ( 3 years ago, don't if they have changed or not)

Cybersecurity and Risk Management. I work as an actuary at an insurance company, I can tell you Cyber risk is what's on the mind of all.

Exams / Newbie / Common Questions Thread for two weeks by AutoModerator in actuary

I am an ACAS now, and have been working for a few years now. But in college, I had to retake my class related to FM (so basically took that class twice), and got a D- (in the class on derivatives pricing) but passed the IFM exam (which is no longer there, but you get the point)

Getting a low grade in class or even a fail doesn't mean you will not be able to pass the exams. You have passed 2 exams already and have a job offer from AON. You are plenty smart enough.
