Paige it has been an honour to watch you process this information, realize that fails are an opportunity for learning, growing and better than not trying…. You have what it takes to succeed… you know your areas of weakness and you have immaculate study techniques. All good things will come…. Enjoy your summer ❤

Thank you ❤

Thank you for sharing this with us Paige. Passing actuarial exams is hard so it is okay if you fail you will eventually get there. And if you look on the bright side you will be resitting very soon and you probably qualify in less than 6 months.

Paige, I congratulate you for passing one of the exams. Do not worry that you failed one exam! It is not the end of the world. You are going to resit it again in September and I am sure that you will pass the second time because you are more aware what they want in this exam.

you know, Paige, you remind me a lot of myself when it comes to exams and life in general. You hardly give yourself any credit when you have done well but are very hard on yourself when things don't go to plan.... Take it from a fellow perfectionist that you have done exceptionally well in your journey. I can see that you've blossomed in so many aspects and I feel very proud of you! We all know that you will be passing the next sitting and I'm looking forward to the remaining part of this chapter!!

I’m glad it helped. It’s a shame to fall short of my goal but I’m not embarrassed for trying! We go again.

Congratulations on passing SA3, Paige! That’s brilliant news! Only one to go now. The pass rate was incredibly low - these exams must be so tough! You will pass the last one very soon!

Paige it's brilliant. One more left! You will get there this year!

Only one left to study for! You'll get it next time! I'm tantalizingly close to the end of my BA (only 3 exams left!), so I know the feeling of being so close and yet so far. (And secretly I'm glad we'll be getting a few more study videos, because yours have always been my favourites!)

Congrats for the pass! These exams are so tough so don't beat yourself up! Seeing your content on here and insta really helps me a lot with the studying and preparation for these exams as they serve as a great motivator! thanks a million ☺

You’re gonna get it!!! And if not, by any chance…totally far far away,😂)please, don’t be discouraged! You can do it🤗

I love that you keep it real, Paige! Congrats on your SA3 result, and remember, none of this is wasted time - every attempt/exam/study session is helping you get that little bit further. I think about it like driving lessons/tests. Failing the driving test doesn't mean that you're back to square one! Keep going

That's a solid pass though at 68% ... and 58% was close so just needs a little more work and you're there ;) Chin up an onto the next phase.

You continue to be on a successful path. You have every right to be pleased with the cpmpleted course. All the best to you. You are successful

Congrats! All the effort you've put in is and will pay off! ❤

Paige, congratulations for passing even the one exam! From what I can tell these exams are pretty hard and the pass rate for some of them is very, very low. Considering how many exams you've passed in the first sitting, I still think you did amazing 😊

Hats off Paige. Don't forget to do life sessions when you study for the next exam.only 4 marks to pass the other exam. I know that you will pass the exam next time with flying colours.

Just one exam left to pass! All other exams in life you have conquered! You’ll get there!

You worked so hard for this, so don’t let that letter devalue that. You came out and reflected on it, so I’m sure you will breeze through the next one.

Chin up love you have got this as someone who is trying to qualify as a cost accountant and not clearing in the first go ik how it feels but have a calm head you have got this ❤🧿

It might be a refreshing change to try vlogging about how to take breaks. It's actually something people can learn from. For recovering from burnout in particular. It's pretty common. I hear strangers talk about it and I've tried to study it too. Some ideas resonate like there are 7 types of rest: mental rest, sensory rest, emotional rest, social rest, physical rest, creative rest, and plain old slowing down. You need all 7. I've recently picked up planting and making terrariums as a hobby (I built 5 on my first day). And bird watching - I just had to place some feeders in the garden. It works great, but I had to scatter seeds where birds would obviously find them first, to get the comfortable and curious. Just a thought, hope you're finding a good balance.

Hi Paige. First of all, well done! One down, one to go! I'm in an adjacent boat to yours. I've got one final resit to take for my degree at the end of this summer after having passed one and failed one of my winter exams (and finish the research project until the end of the year). I can't wait to be done with studying. Let's go we've got this! One final exam 💪💪💪

It's really rare that a student passed the SA exam but fail the SP one, but passing SA means that you are with a very good chance of passing the SP one next time. Best of luck! I'm in the journey for the fellowship for more than 10 years and still not quite there yet.

Let’s not forget that you passed one! 🥳😎 you’ve got this! Also these exams must be so tough with the low pass rate haha

Somehow, as someone who is planning to start this whole journey of actually exams after I graduate, seeing people fail and keep going really is weirdly reassuring. Getting that "Failing is the end of the world" attitude out of my mind is so hard but so necessary.

Hey Paige, congrats on passing SA3, and best wishes for SP8 in September. Could you please make a video on how and where to study from for new actuarial students? That would be simply amazing, thanks a lot and have a nice day

How long have you been studying actuarial science? Like how long does it actually take for someone to become an actuary?

It has never made sense to me that the pass mark changes each sitting. It would be better if there was just a standard figure.

@Eldriitch

Ай бұрын

It changes to try and balance out the difference in difficulty between each year's exams. It's not a perfect system, but the point is that a pass should represent approximately the same relative performance each year, even if the actual number varies.

Am I the only one who thinks if you didn't waste your time on social media and worrying what people think about you, you could have been more successful in your exams? You don'tt have to broadcast your life on the internet.

Can you choose a different subject if you wanted to?

Ай бұрын

No, Paige has re-sit the exam that she failed. It's the same subject.

I see actuary salaries are not really higher than other 'professional' jobs. I wonder if all that effort is worth it, when you can be earning more than actuaries with much less effort.

@Eldriitch

Ай бұрын

There are drawbacks to those other career paths too. If high-paying professional careers were easy to build, everyone would. Some routes are definitely easier than others, but all have their own individual benefits and drawbacks and unique opportunities and idiosyncrasies. And of course, it's not just about the money. It's fine if that's all you're interested in, but for people earning as much as actuaries and other high-paying professionals do, immediate needs are clearly met -- so you can afford to ignore small differences in pay for your other preferences.

@hansanaik3835

Ай бұрын

It is always good to have a professional designation because there are more job opportunities and job security. As Actuarial designations are harder than CFA or CA, there is less competition for these jobs. Also, people may start with more or less the same salary in different professions but they do not have a lot of growth opportunities in the future.
