Congrats on your journey so far Alex. Looking forward to the new content and think it's a great decision to go for the FCAS.

I'm so happy to see you posting again Mancinelli 🙂

Thanks for checking out the content!

[@evanewald2858]

Congrats! Still trying to get passed MAS-1 over here and desperately hoping for May. Fingers crossed and good luck on the course on professionalism!

[@TheSyd19]

Great to see you again! Thanks for the video!

[@josevalencia9233]

You deserve this, dude. I m a master student and even if in Europe CAS exams are not required your contents motivates me in taking those exams. Congrats from Spain

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Thank you!

[@matthewlonnon5662]

Thanks for the content! Your videos motivated me to take exam P, and get an internship post grad. Now I’m working at a P&C insurer attempting to get to ACAS too, thanks a lot!

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Great to hear, best of luck in your studies!

[@eric1719]

LFG!!!! Congrats on the progress my dude. Looking forward to the content

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Love the hype, thanks!

How did you know which tests you had to take and how to best prepare yourself? Did you get a job as an actuary after a test or 2? ****You seem like you know the path pretty well I wonder what you suggest for some of us that don't have a clue about the prep and requirements needed to get into actuary work, but have a bs in mathematics?

[@augusto1882]

Well deserved break, congrats!

[@kevinshin885]

ALEX CONGRATS! Go live your life now during this break! Back in 2017 when I was in college, I had an interview for an internship with Liberty Mutual in Seattle and I reached out to you to meet up. We were going to, but last minute I had to cancel the interview, so we couldn’t meet. Fast forward 4 years later and I actually just failed Exam 6 for the first time but hope to pass it this Spring and be in the same position as you are! Hope we can meet up one day!

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Hey Kevin, I remember you and our meeting that almost was! Crazy how time flies. Thank you, I'm sure you will get it next time! I was shocked to see that I actually passed the first time. I thought I would have to retake it at least once. Such a brutal exam! Hope all is well with you!

[@chickenflippers]

hang in there, thanks for all the videos!

[@bobdole991]

I needed this video! Thanks for this!

[@CristianLanda]

Congrats!

[@michaelgaristo3785]

Congrats man. I am also pursuing an ACAS credential and am preparing for MAS-2. Any tips on studying for this exam considering I hear its a lot more qualitative than quantitative? Right now I'm just reading source material, but am unsure how I will actually practice during the weeks leading up to the exam for the non calculation sections.

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Thanks! Yea the triple T/F questions for that are brutal. I recommend the ASM manual for that exam. The manual covers the content more extensively than most plus it comes with 6 practice exams! Good luck on that one!

[@sahillimbore1709]

You are my motivation

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Here is the video I referenced from "Etched Actuarial" regarding the changes the SOA made to replace Exam IFM. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJitf5p5dpxsbqc

[@tylerjung4704]

Would you recommend taking exam FM before Exam P?

[@ryantheactuary]

Congrats and I'm glad you're making videos again! Seems like just yesterday I was watching your explanations for Exam P and FM SOA sample problems. Can't believe that was 4 years ago and I'm an ASA now. Looking forward to the videos!

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

I know haha! Time fly's!

[@SmokingwithBush]

The wait is over, yes!!! And yes, we care about the journey

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Haha thanks for caring!!

[@zporiri]

Any tips for motivating yourself to study for 6U? The material is so boring lol

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

I can't help you with gaining interest other than seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. As far as getting that sweet pass though... I think what saved me is my constant determination to memorize the parts that needed to be memorized (the non-computational parts of the exam). Know all the regulation and SAO material really well and that's already a huge chunk of the material you know will be tested. This was advice given to me and I think it made all the difference.

[@jacoblogan2880]

You look comfier in this video than previous ones... #costiszero

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

The cost is only non-zero when you fail

[@jelowey]

Congratulations! Your videos helped me pass back in the days of P. (As you say, the good ol’ days lol). COVID killed my study desire (and most everything in life…) but back into trying now at MAS-1. Thankfully my position and career growth isn’t as reliant on passing these 😅

[@mancinellismathlab7451]

Happy you found the content helpful and you've recovered! Ah yes "the good ol' days" haha
