I'm just starting a second degree. I'm getting a BS in applied math. What courses in stats, calc, business, finance are turely necessary to pass the exams? I've seen a sample test, and it's really beyond my skills at this point, but I know after my third year in the BS in applied math, I'll be able to pass the first two tests. But after that, what should I have taken in college to really prepare myself for the subsequent tests?

Are exams difficult? Yes. But not impossible.
A major in math is probably the best single preparation. Beyond that, courses in econ, corporate finance, and accounting would be helpful.
The exams after the first two are subjects specific to actuarial work and generally not studied in college, so don't worry about them now.
Visit the actuarial societies' web pages for more info. In the US, this is www.casact.org and www.soa.org In particular, pay attention to the VEE requirements so you can satisfy them while in school.

a million. communicate on your boss, and per chance get some learn ideas. The actuarial checks are distinct than college checks. 2. Is there a occupation that pastimes you in the reassurance business enterprise that doesn't require actuarial checks? there are a form of fulfilling and good-paying jobs contained in the reassurance business enterprise. 3. Or, is it time for Plan B?

Get with your guidance counselor, even if that person doesn't know the answer, there should be some book references in the office there that can guide you. There are specialist companies out there who will give you special training in how to pass professional examinations like you will need. They charge less money that taking course after course at a university, and and they are more specific in their training. They will even give you sample tests, with actual questions from the exams you'll eventually need to take, to familiarize you with you will need to know. Go for it.
