First, actuarial science is not as legendary and generous as introduced by the industry. At present, the demand for actuaries in China is not so great, and many people have passed the actuarial certificate in the past two years. I am now in the insurance industry, and generally only the head office has an actuarial department. There is no actuarial department in the branch. Employment is also relatively narrow. Several of my graduate students decided not to take the exam and switched to statistics. Although it is also narrow, it is broader than actuarial science.

2. Actuarial major, it's great to finish all the quasi-actuarial subjects in four years. I am an actuary. Our major has been three years, and only one girl has taken all the subjects after graduating from senior three. If you want to spend more time studying, you can take the exam after graduate school.

Third, when I took the actuarial exam, all nine subjects were accurate. Except that the comprehensive economic foundation in 2009 was economics, finance, accounting and finance, the other eight subjects were all mathematics, and some subjects were not a book, such as the foundation of mathematics. Need to learn mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, probability theory, mathematical statistics and other knowledge. Most other subjects are a book.

Fourth, actuarial assessment is difficult. In addition to too much knowledge, the difficulty and quantity of the questions are difficult to complete within the specified time. If you want to finish it all, you have to answer a question within 3 to 5 minutes, which also includes reviewing the questions, listing formulas (related formulas are usually very long), substituting data, simplifying, inputting into a calculator, solving, comparing with options, and finding the correct answer. Most people can't finish it, and if you don't arrange your time well, it's useless to do the following questions, because you don't know how long the questions you are doing will consume you. It would be a tragedy if the computing power is slow and the brain is not so flexible.
