Examined...

I took my actuarial exam this morning. The weather was really bad and my proctor ended up being late, but I was the only one taking the exam at my location and I didn't have to go to work today, so I didn't mind too much. The exam started with a nice softball and then it quickly moved into some really difficult questions. When I realized I had skipped more questions than I had answered in the first 45 minutes of the three hour exam I started to panic, thinking I would fail again. But, as I got further into the exam booklet I found some questions that I could answer correctly and once I started getting them right I got on a roll, at one point knocking out 9 of 10 questions. With my newly restored confidence I went back and answered several more that I had previously skipped, and I only ended up outright guessing on four out of 30. This bodes well.

Results don't come out until July, I'm guessing July 11th, but I am cautiously optimistic.

Next up, a professional course in corporate finance to satisfy another (easier) requirement, and in a month or so I'll order study materials for the next actuarial exam so I can start getting ready for November.

Glad to hear it went well! These exams sound nerve-wracking. How many are there, and how far into it are you? Fingers crossed! :-)
