= =.. i think u should just focus on whether are u interested to study actuarial 1st...the materials and things lik that are not important as u can get them from ur seniors or universities bookshop... there's alot of actuary forum which can inform u about them later on

ya ... if can not do well in Maths calculations, better stop think about it.

I'm pretty good at maths but dunno still at my best onot, at my best, my teacher allowed me to skip class and helped her with her chores........

management, biz admin, mass comm etc

USD 300? I tot you are in UTAR???? I love maths. Love the challenge in the solving process. Once i mastered it, i got bored.....

good for you. i never like maths. not that i am against it. i dislike the process of solving maths.maybe we should exchange quater of our brain, so you dont get bored easily and i like the process more.

we nid alot of reference books for AS?? i scared no money to buy them all.. haha.

Oppss... actually, I'm not that sure about the fee. But, I heard it from friend is something like that lah. mayb I am wrong.

Btw, which paper are you now ?

i going to take the p1 exam. My fren ass 3 edi lor >_<

ysh_kobe : USD300 and utar got what connection ah?

jerk : liking maths? no la, i hates maths, i always get bad result for maths, and add maths, but my parents push me in this field, so have to lo. Die also have to lor. But i am a person who like event managing and fashion design, so..........dun really have much choice. Gotta try and try and try try again lo.

Awesome.. you are really dare to take the challenge. Good luck.
But, I think you better consider it now. Next time, you are going to join in this field (not your parent), you already have a proper planning ? May b if your parents had set up the plan for you, that's different story.

actually i m planning 2 study acturial science as well
but still worrying dat dis course is too hard ...
duno whether i can take it or not ...

i was not doing well, then i researched i found out that tarc offer fashion designing course, but my mum say "NO" without question. Hence i just gotta stick with it.

no, parents have no plan 4 me. I dun really und ur statement, but i know what AS will lead to, i have FULL research in this field. And from a gal who almost fail maths and (until now) can't remember the multiplication table, and i ask my bf when i calculate something (additiona nd minus, i lazy to count) and now i am a KUMON HIGH LEVEL maths instructor.

When there is a will there is a way, its all in the mind.

when there is a will, there is a way...
i thk dis saying is really good ....

erm.. but tis course not only depends on ur effort rite. i think still some "talent" in calculating, am i right??

Sorry, have been busy these few days. I jz got informed that I'm offered for Actuarial Science in UTAR. i mean y we use USD to calculate when we are in Malaysia? Does that means all the books have to be ordered and not available in M'sia?

ysh_kobe, wat results u used 2 apply 4 acturial science in UTAR?

STPM. y?

juz wanna noe how well is de result required 2 enroll de acturial science in UTAR ...

owh.... at least i got a B+ for Mathematics T. and all C at least. but, to me their requirement is low d, the most important thing is .... is..... is..... is..... money!!!!!!!!!!!!

depends, some talent is needed yes when u wan deep deep understanding of mathematical theory. You see, when in actuarial science, you dont ONLY count, you use TONS and TONS of THERY and FORMULAS and try to apply in life. All of the mathematic text books, u will be suprice how little number there is and how much theory and PROVING there is involved. You will learnt hat maths is used in everyday life and allt he theory we try to understand is all life based except is potreyed in numbers.

and u learn that mathematicians are the WORLD LAZIEST people. XD Cuz all also use sign. Practically, the whole book is filled with signs and short abbrevations that if u dun google what does it mean, u practically cant continue / understand. Whole sentence of 30 words defined theory is simplified to few signs.

that is the headache part, to try to understand what to apply, when to apply. U have this situation, but u have MILLIONS of formula and theory and some contradic each other. So which one to use? liddat lo. Talent, ya....but if u wan to be a PURE mathematician and not an actuarist
