    Hi,

    How do you guys think about the difficulty level of SP7/8 as compared to CA1? Study load wise?

    Also, is it difficult to pass SP7 and SP8 without working in the GI field? (I'm working in a non-actuarial field currently)

    Thanks.

    CA1 content is easy to digest, but the sheer volume of notes can be overwhelming.
    The fact that you have to do 2 exams in 1 sitting also complicates the chances of passing.
    SP7 has fewer chapters [25 if i remember correct], which are also easy to understand, however, the exam always has a big difficult question, sometimes multiple difficult questions.
    Id say CA1 is slightly harder to pass overall, but both are heavy units.
