Whether you start with FM or P, one thing you will notice right away is the difficulty of these exams. So, since I took FM first, let’s start there. Not only do I hope this post is informative, but more helpful than most other’s advice since it’s coming from the perspective of a fellow student, not an Associate or Fellow talking about something they did years ago. Nobody in my college could even help me find an internship since nobody really knows about this career there. I have only taken up through calc one, so I really have had to learn everything so far on my own. More info on me, I am a non-math major at a college that does not even have an actuarial science program. If you’re like me, you like learning as much as you can before starting something, hopefully this helps. If you search this sub long enough you can probably find most of the information I am about to say, this just puts it all in one place for you. So, as a way of giving back, I wanted to write a long description of my experiences with both FM and P, what studying was like, what the material is like, comparisons between the two, etc. Since I found this sub a little over a year ago, I have passed two exams (just passed P recently) and am starting an internship at a large health insurer soon. I have learned so much from you all, had questions answered, and it has really just been a really useful area. This sub was one of the first places I found, and since then, has been an amazing source of information. When I found this profession, I began doing research on it. I had no idea what an actuary was till last March. So, this is going to be a pretty long post, but if you’re a student thinking about pursuing this career, or gearing up to take exam P or FM, I suggest you give it a read.īefore I get to the meat of the info, I’d like to give a little background on me.
