Hi MJ, thank you for all your videos.. They are helpful for me. I'm currently studying towards CFA and it's scary but I'm excited.. Actuarial Science sounds interesting and your videos gives me an understanding about this course.. Thank you

[@ShrutiPrakash2]

ST life

I'm playing with the idea of becoming an actuary. I know that it is hard but I believe if I put in the time to study I can do it. Hello sir, how far along are you with the exams and how long did it take to get to that point?

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

I have 1 more exam to go and I started my actuarial journey in 2010 :-) If you work hard, you can do it!

[@jeremylim6709]

Good luck for whichever u go for! Would be crazy but definitely a huge sense of fulfilment if you do take both of them and pass them

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

Yeah going to first do Finance and then maybe the Banking one a little later :-)

[@hvinaykumar]

Hi MJ, Thanks for your videos. Please note that the syllabus of Banking Fellowship overlaps with FRM/ Treasury Syllabus.

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

ah thanks. I didn't know that

[@shanky4651]

[@agyekumcollins3413]

Hi MJ, I am in Matric at the moment Actuarial Science looks like the only true career for me. I am just a bit unsure of the board exams after university. How many is there to write and how long does it take as an estimate - to complete them.

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

yeah they are difficult, but after getting a degree in Actuarial Science you will be ready for them. the secret with the board exams is not to fear failure, just keep writing them until you pass. it is possible :)

[@yaulun8988]

Hi may I ask you some questions MJ,if we failed the papers can we retake? and is there is a limit of retake till we have redo from the first syllabus?

[@AmyrullSyafiq]

Hi mj, do you need to pay for the exams?

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

Yes!! They are very expensive!! Which is good motivation to study for them!! But if you are employed, then your boss should pay for them!

[@user-mq3ts7lr9l]

I dare to say accounting students in honours can pass these questions, the theory ones at least 😄.

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

Come teach us!!!

[@shaunferns2872]

hey I'm not good at math,I just got marks enough to pass ,I'm thinking to get into this career ,do you think it's possible if I try ,I mean I'll try to give my best ,no doubt abt that

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

Shaun Ferns with maths, practise makes perfect. get a good grasp of the fundamentals and then slowly take on more challenging problems. then you will improve

[@shaunferns2872]

I'm getting mixed reviews about this course ,so I'm getting confused Thanks for the reply though

[@randomedd4234]

Hey any new updates?

[@AufBerghofNAM]

take the banking one! get $$$

[@AufBerghofNAM]

this exam is ok

[@AufBerghofNAM]

i say its ok cos i worked and definitely know that there are some exciting topics raised in the paper

[@MJtheFellowActuary]

Have you written the exam? :-)

[@AufBerghofNAM]

MJ the Student Actuary no, but I'll have to find it. Don't think Ifoa lists it anywhere; not as a specialist. But when I worked in banking, I did product

[@AufBerghofNAM]

MJ the Student Actuary we had similar discussions at the office about retail product revenue distribution, and the answers to the one questions are exactly in line with the discussions we had re performance and the solvency, liquidity and feduciary attributes desired at the bank... I hit that shit out the park!

[@OG-dp1kx]

Not an actuary, but a CA, and i strongly suspect that no one passed this because no one really prepared? I mean come on! Just looking at the questions, some of my final exams had a 50 mark question alone covering 6 pages with tons of data to synthesise under 1.5 hours.

[@xanthirudha]

interesting

[@dig3476]

Dude what?? this exam isnt even hard wtf did anyone even bother studying properly for this?

[@stefaniebabiolakis2724]
