Exam P1 ProbabilityExam FM2 Financial Mathematics

Exam MFE3F Models for Financial EconomicsExam MLC3L Models for Life Contingencies

Exam C4 Construction and Evaluation of Actuarial Models

Exam 1P is traditionally the first exam taken by aspiring actuaries It is the contender for

rdquoeasiestrdquo exam (other candidate is 2FM) Covers Undergraduate probability including

some actuarial applicationsMSU Courses with similar material STT441

Exam FM2 Another contender for easiest exam This exam is traditionally taken second though it is sometimes taken out of order if you have a finance

background Covers Interest rate theory introductory

financial derivatives MSU Courses with similar material MTH360 FI379

Exam MFE3F is in the harder tier of exams The last three exams are generally taken in any order mostly as

to whatever preference you have in course material Covers Financial derivatives more advanced interest

rate models basic stochastic analysis simulation MSU Courses with similar material FI379 MTH457

MTH458

Exam MLC3L recently had a syllabus change but still generally covers the same material

Covers Models used to model decrements used in insurance and annuities benefit reserves

stochastic models MSU Courses with similar material STT455

STT456

Exam C covers an introduction to modeling and covers important actuarial methods that are useful in modeling It is the most rdquostatisticalrdquo out of the 5 preliminary exams and is

usually taken last Covers Statistical models (construction and analysis of) Risk

Measures Statistical Methods Credibility Simulation MSU Courses with similar material No undergraduate courses though topics are touched upon in a variety of courses (STT442

in particular)

Picking an exam should be based on several things Pick an exam related to material you are studying right now (ie exam 1P if you are taking STT441 exam 2FM if you are taking

MTH360 and so on) Pick an exam for material that you are interested in and what your

background is For example if you are a finance major maybe 2FM is better than 1P

Take the exams in a reasonable order You should take 1P and 2FM before you take the last three

The two toprdquobrandsrdquoof study manuals are ACTEX and ASM ACTEX manuals tend to teach material more thoroughly and

are less difficult than ASM manuals ASM manuals generally have more difficult problems

Both manuals have their upsides It is generally accepted that ACTEX is better for P and ASM is better for the other four A lot of it is up to preference however

Make sure to get a manual that is relevant You can buy used manuals for cheaper but make sure that they cover the material on the exam syllabus since

the material can change exam syllabus can be found in the SOA website

There are two recommended calculators rdquoBA II Plusrdquo It is a financial calculator and has a lot of useful commands for 2FM

The other is the rdquoTI-30X IIrdquo (and similar) which is useful because you can look back on what yoursquove input

Basically they are the same Personally recommend ldquoTI-30X IIrdquo which is easy to click

In other words you can save precious time when you plug in the numbers to TI-30X II

It always good to have two calculators when you take exam

Be an Actuary

ADAPT (wwwcoachingactuariescom) has online coaching for studying For a higher $ amount it has entire learning courses

It has bundles (ie pay $150 for a study manual (regular $50) and a 180 day pass to their online content) and passes to access their online material

for periods of timeIt also has online exams that you can customize difficulty-wise and it

mimics the CBT experience I have not personally used it (since I did not actually know about it until

halfway through studying for MLC) but it seems extremely useful and I plan on using it for Exam 4C

The Infinite Actuary (wwwtheinfiniteactuarycom) is similar to ADAPT but it is strictly an online learning course

It has amazing lecture videos and you can view the first few for each exam for free

It has free practice exams for exam P (and $35 for two practice exams for FM) that have online video solutions (VERY helpful)

The downside is that it is very expensive The exam P course is $400 while an ASM exam P manual is $100

Regardless of purchasing the free material is amazingly useful

The Society of Actuaries (wwwsoaorg) are the guys that run everything

It is a good place to look for miscellaneous information It also has a large database of sample questions and it is

recommended to do every question in that database before sitting for an exam

This is also where you will sign up and register for exams and register your VEE credits

SOA website is the OFFICIAL website

The Actuarial Outpost (wwwactuarialoutpostcom) is one of the most useful sites to an actuary

It a forum with millions of posts on all sorts of things You can literally post anything actuarial related and you will get an answer

Examples of things Irsquove asked (and gotten answers for) What is the best study manual for exam XX Is getting a masters degree useful in attaining an actuarial

job How do you do question X in Y manual (and more) They also have a section for resume critique and job postings I posted my resume on there and got it critiqued by several FSArsquos and ASArsquos that handle hiring at

insurance companies

Be an Actuary (wwwbeanactuaryorg) is a catchall site for miscellaneous information

It tells you what is an actuary what do they do finding jobs college study and has information on actuarial exams

It is especially useful for its information on actuarial exams as it includes the sitting schedule for all exams the syllabus for the exams and a lot of other miscellaneous information that yoursquod

like to know Personally I use this website a lot

background is For example if you are a finance major maybe 2FM is better than 1P

Take the exams in a reasonable order You should take 1P and 2FM before you take the last three

The two toprdquobrandsrdquoof study manuals are ACTEX and ASM ACTEX manuals tend to teach material more thoroughly and

are less difficult than ASM manuals ASM manuals generally have more difficult problems

Both manuals have their upsides It is generally accepted that ACTEX is better for P and ASM is better for the other four A lot of it is up to preference however

Make sure to get a manual that is relevant You can buy used manuals for cheaper but make sure that they cover the material on the exam syllabus since

the material can change exam syllabus can be found in the SOA website

There are two recommended calculators rdquoBA II Plusrdquo It is a financial calculator and has a lot of useful commands for 2FM

The other is the rdquoTI-30X IIrdquo (and similar) which is useful because you can look back on what yoursquove input

Basically they are the same Personally recommend ldquoTI-30X IIrdquo which is easy to click

In other words you can save precious time when you plug in the numbers to TI-30X II

It always good to have two calculators when you take exam

There are two recommended calculators rdquoBA II Plusrdquo It is a financial calculator and has a lot of useful commands for 2FM

The other is the rdquoTI-30X IIrdquo (and similar) which is useful because you can look back on what yoursquove input

Basically they are the same Personally recommend ldquoTI-30X IIrdquo which is easy to click

In other words you can save precious time when you plug in the numbers to TI-30X II

It always good to have two calculators when you take exam

ADAPT (wwwcoachingactuariescom) has online coaching for studying For a higher $ amount it has entire learning courses

It has bundles (ie pay $150 for a study manual (regular $50) and a 180 day pass to their online content) and passes to access their online material

for periods of timeIt also has online exams that you can customize difficulty-wise and it

mimics the CBT experience I have not personally used it (since I did not actually know about it until

halfway through studying for MLC) but it seems extremely useful and I plan on using it for Exam 4C

The Infinite Actuary (wwwtheinfiniteactuarycom) is similar to ADAPT but it is strictly an online learning course

It has amazing lecture videos and you can view the first few for each exam for free

It has free practice exams for exam P (and $35 for two practice exams for FM) that have online video solutions (VERY helpful)

The downside is that it is very expensive The exam P course is $400 while an ASM exam P manual is $100

Regardless of purchasing the free material is amazingly useful

The Society of Actuaries (wwwsoaorg) are the guys that run everything

It is a good place to look for miscellaneous information It also has a large database of sample questions and it is

recommended to do every question in that database before sitting for an exam

This is also where you will sign up and register for exams and register your VEE credits
