    Hi

    I am trying to decide between SA5 and SA6. Here is my approach so far:

    - I am not in the UK and i am not working in any actuarial field, so i am not following recent developements etc and i have no any experience in any subject.

    - The core reading for SA5 is much bigger. This might imply that there are more points to be gained (from studying the core reading) in the SA5 exam rather than in the SA6 exam.

    - Given that my weak point is experience/following recent developments, i am thinking to start studying SA5 (if there are indeed more points to be gained from the core reading, this will increase my chances).

    Can you please comment on the above? Is the above thinking correct, or do you think that both SA5 and SA6 exams have pretty much the same number of points to be gained from bookwork (in which case i prefer to take SA6 which i find more interesting)?

    Many thanks for your help.
