    Is it realistically possible to write all 3 tough exams Ct4,5 and 8 at the same time

    I would say it is very aggressive, but it depends on prior attempts, your exam success to date, previous study of the syllabus and how much preparation time you're likely to have.
    You might also want to check the exam timetable to see how much space there is between the papers.

    4 and 5 or 5 and 8 are really doable!
    4 and 8 maybe tough!!

    Thanks for the advice, will take only ct4 and ct5 next year since I will be doing honours in mathematics. So far I have passed ct1, 2, 3 and I've written ct6 and ct 7 in this session

    I personally think CT8 is the toughest actuarial exam. I took and passed CA1 and ST2 on my first attempt but CT8 took 2 attempts. The 5 step method honestly gave me nightmares . Having said that look at the syllabus and if you feel financial economics is a strong area go for it. Of course it is doable, just requires more time than CT4 or 5 if you're more a numbers person than a theory person.

    CT4,CT5 is probably a better combination as is CT8,CT5.
