Anyone here an actuary? Working on exam P right now. It's not too bad to be honest.

Finished Exam FM and working on Exam P. When are you sitting for the exam?

I failed exam P. I'm traumatized. My buddy then failed FM after making a 9 on P. Don't know what I should do with my life.

I'm aiming for Decemeber. I need to brush up on my calculus and I'm working a pretty demanding job. Luckily I have SAS and SQL down already.

I'm using the infinite actuary for studying and I'm finding the lessons don't explain certain concepts very well. What are you using to study?

I'm writing the exam on Sep. 24th.
