which is best?
I work with a guy who did some of the UK exams, then swapped to the US exams (because he moved over there to work). This was quite a while ago - maybe 15 years - but he said the US exams were noticably simpler than those in the UK.
I'd be interested to know how the structure of the US exams differ. Is there more specialisation in the US exams, e.g. in general insurance/life/pensions or even further, e.g. GI reserving/pricing/capital modelling etc? I work in general insurance and find it a bit strange that I had to take 8 CT exams, of which the majority has no relevance to my area of work at all. I think I heard there is more/earlier specialisation in the US system
