Maybe ISU's different, but at my school, maintaining a GPA that high in any type of science major is almost unheard of.

Virtually every consulting company has an office in Chicago. Have you checked Buck Consultants, Towers Perrin, Watson Wyatt, MIlliman?

I disagree. I knew how to do everything from first principles. Doing lots of problems lets you know how to apply your knowledge.

FM is all plug and chug. P requires thinking.

That's good enough. Take some English courses so you're well rounded.

You might add that you should use ice cream consumption as a proxy for temperature if temperature data is not readily available. I would think that temperature's easier to measure than ice cream...

Personal lines or commercial lines? I think with personal lines, there's a lot less judgement involved since you have so much data. Auto liability is a longer tailed line and might be more...

That's a very poor way of figuring out how much you'd be paid since the standard of living is different in every country. There are places where you could live like a king with 577 USD a month.

I wouldn't say that all published exams are linked on the website since they don't show a lot of the older exams. The manual authors have these older exams saved on their computers.

I can no...

After doing many similar problems, you'll think this is a brainless question.

Exam 1/P is a good start. I consider exam 2/FM brain candy. The people who pass that one are a dime a dozen. The third exam is a good weeder exam to see who can get any farther in the exam process.

My interests are math, business, and economics. I'm a greedy person. It worked out well.

In a larger company, I think sending to chief actuary is a bad idea. It could take weeks for your email to even get read. I think an associate would be a good idea and they can send it on to the...

There's a fair amount of places that will hire people with no exams passed. You shouldn't give your salary expectation. If you expect low, you could get lowballed. If you expect high, they could...

Depends whether you have enough of other accomplishments to fill the rest of the page. Probably move it closer to the bottom.

I'd say more than sufficient.

I would go even further and say MLC only counts as half of an exam. In terms of adding value to a prospective employer, it's an exam that they don't have to give you additional study time for.

No one asks me to put in overtime, but I work as late as I need to work in order to meet deadlines. I've also taken less than the number of hours given to us under the student program since I can't...

That overqualified stuff is a load of ''''. The majority of people getting jobs where I work have 3~4 exams passed out of school.

Have you tried contacting foster care centers. If you're trying to sell your service or estate planning, I don't think you want to tell people how low the probability of this happening is. Stress...

Usually something along the lines of experience.

Some people think it's a good point to take a break and convince themselves that they'll finish off what they started at a different time. A lot of times, they'll never take another test again...

The SOA 123 questions are a good representation of what you will see. Some people think it's easier because they're already seen the problem before. If you're using a study manual, those questions...

Think of it as the actuarial department writing a guidebook for the underwriting department. The actuarial department prices policies in bulk and the underwriters look at the individual risks.

I always thought it was pronounced like '''' it.
