There’s nothing more heartbreaking than failing an exam, especially when you spent months and months preparing for it. When you see your results, it can feel like all that time was just wasted.
The thing is, passing these exams is about more than just knowing the material. It’s also a test of your mental strength and perseverance!

Yes, I failed too! Failing an actuarial exam is basically a rite of passage in the actuarial community.

How do you bounce back after failing an exam you've prepared endlessly for? Share your strategies and stories below!

@rafaelmateodev 29 дней назад

Studying for the exams is nothing, one chooses what they suffer for. The problem is seeing how despite passing 2 exams one is unable to land a single interview. Like, WHY.

@rafaelmateodev 29 дней назад

Okay, a bit of a salty comment. Just frustrated here.

Thanks for the video. I'm currently thinking of acturary, majoring Applied Mathematics and Stats . I think I'll double major with data science or economy. Which will be the better choice? And If I apply for double major, I'll have some busy schedule, so I want to prepare for Exam P , Fm before 2025 fall semester starts.(I want to have an intern jobs when semester ends from sophomore). Due to the placement exam, I got cal 1, 2 linear algebra waived.(Freshman now). Is this plan not a bad Idea? and from the sophomore spring semester, I'll start double majoring and interns or some extracurricular activities, so when I graduate, I'll have only two exams passed. Will it be okay?

A double major isn’t a bad idea! But I’m not sure if it’s your best option, especially if it’ll make your schedule busier. Your major is good on its own, and you’ll have more time for exams, internships, and extracurriculars! But at the end of the day, either option works. It just depends on what you prefer! :)

Okay, I'm REALLY interested in being an Actuary, however I'm more interested in annuities. Is that considered insurance?

@chanelpate886 Месяц назад

Because everytime I watch your videos for knowledge, insurance is the main term that you use (because that's what some do, I know) but I know that annuities and like hedge funds are also a part. Am I confused about this?

@EtchedActuarial Месяц назад

@@chanelpate886 Hey there! It's great that you're interested in being an Actuary! Annuities are indeed part of the actuarial field, and they fall under insurance-related products. Actuaries work with various financial tools like annuities, which are designed to provide a steady income stream. It's normal to have questions-feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them! 😊
