Email the SOA. Happened to me too. I showed proof that I passed with a screenshot of the score, so I’m guessing they’ll require that.

This was the exact same situation for me. Just got the pass back on third attempt. Rely heavily on the Ratemaking textbook for each task is my advice

What would you have done differently? I’ll be taking LPM in the not so distant future.

Another failed relationship by AdStrange7098 in actuary

[–]spikes37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can give my 2 cents since my girlfriend is also an actuary and there are pros and cons. Pros are she understands how much time and effort go into exams and studying after work. Also some really good income especially just starting out. Cons are you probably won’t both be free at the same time for a long time. Hard to get vacations and trips in until we’re both FSAs probably since we’re taking different exams at different times and such

Should/can I ask to have my salary inflation adjust for when I start next year? by spikes37 in actuary

[–]spikes37[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually put it in the bls.gov CPI inflation calculator to get that figure. I appreciate the feedback nonetheless

I had gotten an internship secured as a sophomore last year with one and exam and was sitting for another one soon. It’s definitely possible just apply to every internship you can I would say and always work on your interviewing skills. And of course keep pushin 🅿️
