Give up all other interests in your life and do nothing but live and breathe CA1 for the next 6 months. It is too big!!!! I don't think I could handle failing this one - just imagine having to do it all again Or do what I do. Study hard one week then get very drunk the next. It is like Ying - Yang. If I have to be so good then I need to be bad in order to be balanced and healthy.
I failed this in April and the thought of having to resit is very depressing Having read the tread about CA12 there was a good tip from someone to summarise each chapter as you get to the end.
endless lists as i intend to sit this exam next year in september, i thought i should start reading it ... after only 2 chapters i have a big question: are we supposed to learn those lists by heart??? (eg actuaries skills ...)
