Let's make it clear, Physics and Chemistry generally have no direct connection with Actuarial Science. Economics and Accounting is preferable, as well as strong foundation of maths. However, some IPTA require you to have at least one Science subject in STPM. Don't ask me why. That's the way.
It is advisable for you to go Art Stream(PA, Maths S, Econs, Accounts) as Actuarial Science is about Statistics, Finance and Economics if you are firm with your decision. To play safe, I would advise you to take Physics as your 5th subject. In this case, Physics is preferable than Chemistry. But I'm not sure if STPM Art Streams students is allowed to take Science subjects. Better to confirm with your Form 6 teacher. Alternatively, you can drop either Physics or Chemistry and take Economics & Accounting / Economics & Further Maths T.
I think Science Stream is more preferable to gain admission for IPTA. You can continue in Science stream but than it is better to take Economics or Further Maths T as 5th subject. Further Maths T is highly regarded if you want to stand out of others. Anyway, you are just wasting your time and effort for studying Physics and Chemistry if you really want to be an actuarist.
Despite Arts or Science, RESULTS is the most IMPORTANT factors to gain admission to university.
I hope that you wouldn't end up "I have lost my passion towards Maths" or "I have lost my passion towards Actuarial Science"
