What I want to be in the future—actuaries
Actuaries are professionals
who are qualified in this field
through education and
experience. In many countries,
actuaries must demonstrate
their competence by passing a
series of rigorous professional
examinations.
Preliminary Exams
Probability Exam
Financial Mathematics Exam
Models for Financial Economics
ExamConstruction and
Evaluation of Actuarial Models

Requirement and my goals
All candidates acquire a core set of knowledge from required
preliminary exams. The preliminary exams and Validation by
Educatio (beanaturary.org)nal Experience requirements are the
starting points for an actuarial career.
The preliminary exams are the
common foundation for becoming
an actuary. No matter which
actuarial practice area a person
decides to enter, future actuarial
education will depend on mastery
of the preliminary exams.
