    I have my exam on 3-4th of February 11.

    I have covered the Acted past notes and finished all the assignments with few getting marked as well. I am not sure what to do between now and the exam day.


    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Study the comments you had from marking. Address any highlighed weaknesses or areas/ways to improve.

    You could always try to look at things you come across in the office meant for a non-technical audience and ask yourself whether these fit the bill. Don't however get stuck on office style.

    Make sure you are comfortable with presentation. Maybe consider getting a bit of practise in the office eg if you tend to be less talkative, get used to speaking up say in team meetings.

    Talk to others who have passed about techniques they used - note they aren't allowed to discuss specific qns they faced (or at least I think not).

    Could look at old CA3 papers too to see where written pieces went awry.

    Thanks for the reply.

    However, I finished my exam a day before the reply. I think I did ok.
    But this reply will help the people who are still preparing.

    Bet you're glad it wasn't 2/3 Feb, only 8 of 25 passed.

    I thought this country had a shortage of actuaries. No wonder, when so few seem to be allowed to pass this exam.
