hi there. i just wanna share some opinion..

if u want to be an actuary..u must pass n take 8 papers only to be a fellow now. well all the professional exams are very tough. u can view www.soa.com to have a look around actuaries world.

i'm currently taking actuarial science course in one of the ipta.. i'll grad in one year. if u want to study this course, it's not about math only.it's also about insurance study,economics,finance,accountancy.so u have to read,memorizing,understanding n applying in your life if u can.

most of my friends can get png more than 3.50 and even 4 flat. i wish u good luck !! study smart ok!!

halu. yup, ipta doesn't give any exemption for the papers we pass in degree. but if we graduate with degree it also a ticket to further study in masters. bcoz it's not easy to pass the professional papers. right now it's qualified to be an actuary when have 8 professional papers. one of my friend, he succeeded 5 papers already. he wants to continue master at UK,but the university over there said his qualification is over achievement for master student.so the university offered him to do phD. huhuhh.. so.. for those who wants to take pro papers.. good luck!! hehe!
