I decided lately that I want to become an ASA as soon as possible because of the current job market. I've been a member of this forum for about 6-8 months, and I have learned a lot of things from experience actuaries like nomoreexams and whoever else post daily on this forum. I am planning on taking p/1 and mfe/3 in Nov and fm/2 in December. Ill be using TIA for all three exams, and also the derv. market 2nd edition. Then Ill take 4/c and mlc/3 in may, and somewhere in between Ill finish the fap and VEE credits.
A little background on me: 21 year old male and I work full time for a bank. I do not have any other obligations (such as kids or being married).
I have taken: Intro to stats, macro eco, and micro eco I have never taken calc, but I have textbooks and I study them all the time.
** I also want to show people or for them not to get discouraged if they haven't taken calc 1-3
I've also read on this forum how having to many exams and little experience may hurt your chances of getting hired or internships. With this economy, I am willing to take that chance, hopefully companies will see me as motivated.
I have only studied about 5 hours for p/1 so far, but starting next week I'll be studying 30-45 hours a week. By no means do I think its going to be easy to complete all these exams by next September, but I'm willing to try my hardest.
