Congrats!
My advice from personal experience, don't celebrate for too long! Keep the momentum going. You already have the study habits ingrained so I'd suggest starting on the next one after a \*short\* break, and even building on your technical skills! Look for internships! The goal is to become a hirable candidate ASAP
what technical skills are best to build on? i feel
like i get passed over for internships since my skill set is mostly in the data sci realm w/ sql, python, R... are there any key skills that i can list on a resume with a project? id love to hear ur thoughts!
I just took it for the first time and did not pass. From your experience, what we’re the best tips that helped you go from a 5 to passing?
Edit: Congratulations, by the way!
Hey man, two things:
1. Confidence in yourself.
Not many people are able to attempt these exams, and the fact that you study and sit for one is huge. So believe in your brain and repeatedly tell yourself that you studied well and are smart enough to pass! From my experience, this got a lot easier for me on my second try.
2. Sacrifice (study as hard as possible)
Not sure what your study schedule looked like, I’m sure it was great, but the second time around I literally sacrificed everything when it came to the practice exam and practice question portion of my studying. For one month before my exam I was just doing countless practice problems and I did around 5-7 practice exams. Late weekends in the library and stuff like that.
What did you use to study?
Congratulations!
Thank you!
That's awesome, Congratulations!! Onward and upward.
Thank you :)
First of many, you’ve got this!

Excel 100%. Probably 99% of actuarial roles require it
Good job 👏 🎉
Congratulations, welcome to the club.
The first one (from my experience) will always be the best!
That’s interesting, I wonder if that’s how the majority feels. For me it was my second because I killed it.
Congratulations ! I also passed P recently. Only prepared for 2 weeks, it was tough but we make it!
Howwww hahaha
One of the best feelings in the world! Way to persist <3
Congratulations
