    In the study guide, we have a few recommendations that we pass on from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries:

    An introduction to statistical modelling. - Dobson, Annette J. - Chapman & Hall, 1983. - viii, 125 pages. - ISBN: 0 412 24860 3.

    Introductory statistics with applications in general insurance. - Hossack, Ian B; Pollard, John H; Zehnwirth, Benjamin. - 2nd ed. - Cambridge University Press, 1999. - xi, 282 pages. - ISBN: 0 521 65534 X.

    Loss models: from data to decisions. - Klugman, Stuart A; Panjer, Harry H; Willmot, Gordon E; Venter, Gary G. - John Wiley & Sons, 1998. - xiii, 644 pages. - ISBN: 0 471 23884 8.

    Practical risk theory for actuaries. - Daykin, Chris D; Pentikainen, Teivo; Pesonen, Martti. - Chapman & Hall, 1994. - 545 pages. - ISBN: 0 412 42850 4.

    I'm sure that these texts are useful but my own viewpoint is that you can pass CT6 very happily with:

    - the notes
    - past papers (ASET or Revision Notes)
    - tutorial (face-to-face or online)

    Work very hard for 150 hours, including AT LEAST 8 past papers and you will pass,

    Good luck!

    Another one, which doesn't cover the exact same syllabus but has a lot of common ground, is Statistical and Probabilistic Methods in Actuarial Science (Philip Boland).
