Today is the first day of the April UK actuarial exams. Which I don't do any more as I passed them all years ago. And so now have more than enough time to write this rubbish every day.
Here's some last minute advice for anyone sitting exams over the next two weeks:
- Take a pen with you. This can be used for writing, which is normally the best way to let the examiner know your answers.
- If a question is too hard, skip it, and just leave a note for the examiner saying it was too hard. They'll understand and probably give you some marks anyway.
- The exam start time is a guide time only. You personally are most likely to succeed if you take the exam at a time that suits you. So just turn up whenever.
- Often if you are stuck, with some kind of mental block, it can help to think about something else for a while. To this end, why not take a copy of Playboy with you, to be whipped out whenever you need to clear your blockage.
- It's nice to pass exams, but don't worry, failures and setbacks will only make you stronger. Even the greatest sportsman sometimes trips over their shoelaces.
So with that, good luck to you all. Don't too many of you qualify though - I don't want loads of you coming after my job.
