You should explore this site for awhile: http://beanactuary.org/

As far as recommendations by other users, read through the exam specific sub-forums on here and AO. Most questions you could come...

Having a low GPA will hurt you, no doubt about it. Is it the end of the world? No.

You need to separate yourself from your competition that has a decent GPA and a few exams. So be prepared to have...

I don't see a solution so I can't answer why "we" are using conditional statements. Show your solution and if you are not getting the correct answer, we can show you where your logic is potentially...

Are you asking on how to do these or just commenting?

Dr. Weishaus doesn't publish a text recommended by SOA/CAS. What he does publish is a study manual (as does ACTEX, Mahler, etc.).

Most people (myself included) use study manuals and refer to the...

So pick a value, let's say P(person purchases disability coverage) = 10%, you are told that he is twice as likely to purchase collision coverage i.e. P(person purchases collision coverage) = 2*10% =...

Are you confusing P(A|B) vs. P(A n B)?

Where are you confused in the solution?

A lot of what you are asking has been discussed (numerous threads on best manuals, how much time is needed, etc.). Getting an internship with 2 exams is probably OK, for a full time job, 3 or 4 might...

Currently 3L covers statistics and life con. (not to the extent that MLC does) so I read that to mean they are simply splitting the exam into 2 parts. Maybe each one will cover the appropriate...

Who will add 3ST?

Unfortunately that may not be true for much longer. I haven't kept up on the most recent decisions but I believe SOA and CAS are going their separate ways in the near future.

Isn't one of those 1D and the other 2D...?

Things will be changing between SOA and CAS but for now, you can learn a lot by looking around here: http://beanactuary.org/exams/preliminary/?fa=preliminary-exams

I didn't say simple, everything is relative. Actuaries get paid because we can, in theory, combine math and business knowledge to come up with "creative" solutions. As you progress higher, you will...

SOA doesn't recommend any study manual. For each exam, they do provide a syllabus which does provide suggested texts. Study manuals are published outside of SOA suggestions but most people use them...

I am going to be as nice as I possibly can and then I am done replying to you:

1) No Actuary will ever spoon-feed you. Not on exams, not in your career. A lot of times you will be given projects...

Is it safe to assume you haven't looked it up yet? :)

Did you read daaave's explanation? http://www.actuarialoutpost.com/actuarial_discussion_forum/showthread.php?t=111709&highlight=consecutive

Tabular integration is another way to look at integration by parts so it wont help if you were integrating with respect to y. It would with respect to x but that's just a one step integration by...

Search here and on AO. This problem gets discussed every few months it seems.

I didn't memorize anything related to integration for course 1. When I took it, it had a section that was exclusively dedicated to Calculus so memorizing things wasn't in your favor. If you really...

You should get a refresher book. Calculus for Dummies is always a good one or something along those lines. They're cheap and hit the main points without bogging you down with too much theory that...

If y is ind. of x and you are integrating w.r.t. x (e.g. dx) then y is treated as constant.

I think you can figure that one out :)
