Hmm... got any recommendation on wat suitable reference books related to exam P/1 of SOA ma?

any recommendations of uni 2 study acturial science in malaysia??

Actuarial Science graduates have a great demand in Financial Industry ie. Bank and Insurance

nevertheless to acquire Actuarial Cert is a must, employers pay higher based on number of papers passed

bro, if i'm getting a degree in Mathematics, can i be an actuary?

you can be an actuary, refer to Actuarial Society of Malaysia

can i ask those who took actuarial science ..wat really motivates u all 2 keep going when facing difficulty 2 understand all de numbers n formulas?

Actualy, u dun need to do the external papers to be an actuary or take up actuary job in malaysia, they dun need u to certified urself as an actuary just YET in malaysia.

Utar degree is to help u take the SOA exams AND help u to get examptions from 4 of the papers in SOA. Certain paper u can only take after u pass a certain subject or couse.

Other than the 4 papers, there is an extra 4 papers which u must take no matter what which is the p1, models, interest and (i forgot ).

If u have taken the subject SOA pre-requisited, then u can take the SOA papers W/O being in actuarial science field. But if u want to be an actuarist, its better u take up actuarial science course.

In utar, utar not only emphasize on mathematical and application skill, they also emphasize on public speaking and soft skill AND PROGRAMMING for Actuarist. In this way, we students of utar are able to manage not only in calculating the probabilities and predicting, but ALSO ABLE TO PRESENT our idea AND merging the skills we have towards business and financial usage.

With the world of cyber nowdays, we are also thought programming so that we are able to modify and change and create programs that we need to use to ease our job as an actuarist.

Come on, can u imagine u have 2 customers daily and u are calculating one by one? And if ur in a big firm? Count one by one? Not practiccal right?
