I am contemplating choosing my specialization papers and was wanting to check which ST-SA, or rather, which specialization stream is easier to pass. I am currently not working in an actuarial related role and hence am not predisposed towards a certain specialization.
 
I think the majority without much experience in one of the specialisms opt for the investment or finance route. More used to end up with SA5 although some people think it's got a bit harder recently.

So ST5 (most obvious starting point), with ST6 (if you like maths, derivative pricing etc) and then SA5 or SA6. ST9 is another "generic" course that might be good to do. But all STs should be possible.

Of course, if you have ambitions to practice in a particular area then it makes sense to have a go at the relevant subjects.

Sorry, all probably obvious. I've sat too many exams to not state the obvious :).
