Riassunto

Learn how to pass your exams while studying less with strategies from the world’s youngest actuary.

Conventional actuarial study advice: Buy a manual, read through each chapter, do as many practice problems as possible, and spend 100 hours per exam hour in preparation for the exam.

Is there a better way?

This is the fundamental question addressed in Actuarial Exam Tactics: Learn More, Study Less. In this book, you will find actionable advice to questions such as:

• What parts of the material should I focus on more than others?
• What is the best way to read through the study manual?
• How can I make my review sessions more productive? (When and How to review)
• How do I create a study schedule and stick to it?
• How can I pass the exams while spending less time than “100 study hours per exam hour”?
• What should I do if I fail an exam?

This book presents the study strategies that helped Roy Ju become the world’s youngest actuary, finishing the SOA’s exams, and becoming an FSA, at the age of 20. You might be asking: these strategies worked for Roy, but will they work for the average student?

This was the question that co-author Mike Jennings asked when first learning of Roy’s strategies. After fifteen months of testing these strategies and accelerating his own exam process (passing 2 preliminary exams, a fellowship exam, the FAP modules, and the FSA modules over this period), Mike knew that he and Roy had to share these strategies with all actuarial students.

Since releasing the first edition, Actuarial Exam Tactics has sold thousands of copies; it has been reviewed in industry magazines; and it has been adopted as the go-to reference by several universities along with the Actuarial Society of South Africa
