EDIT: Yes, I'm also a Canuck. But I didn't know Stewart was Canadian until much later, so no patriotism intended.

![]() I am sure it has been said, but just to highlight my experience quickly:
Some basic rules in trig., and some basic calculus involving trig. has appeared on the preliminary exams P/1 before. This isn't as important/common yet so far in my experience, and an easily memorized solution anyways. It wouldn't hurt taking corporate finance, macro and micro economics, and econometrics through an approved resource from the SOA. It will prevent you from taking additional exams as they are required for the VEE credits. All this is available on the SOA website. But Passing exams is often more important than passing VEE's in my experience. Good luck! I switched from a career in the culinary arts 4 years ago, and I am almost there myself. It is a very competitive field at the entry level so far. You can do it, but you better love math and be/get good at tests. You should also be honest with yourself if you are willing to do a lot of studying for the next 4-12 years of your life. ![]() |
