went thru the thread...strange to find some people terming others' query as 'silly'...In fact, they themselves are more senseless than the people asking such query...Guys...can't u understand that such query are only indicative of curiosity, if at all anything?Stop ridiculing fellow aspirant in such a manner...and if u can't undstand that such are 'curious' questions, then probably u dont have enough intellect urself to pass the course...Moreover, what is the purpose of such a forum? If someone knew all the detail beforehand, should s/he come here to get it attested by such 'alec-smarts'??? The forum is just for sharing experience/assumptions/expectations etc.. and it's not expected to be like an authority to give precise info. So stop sounding 'self-proclaimed' intellectuals and start showing some respect to fellow aspirants !

Good one bro... lolz
They are at par with Einstein or Newton, May be they have more IQ than them.
we are small ppl, thats why we ask silly questions
May be they have become Acturies well before just after clearing ACET.

Anyways, just give smile and move on.
at evry stage of life you will face similar situations

Wish them best luck, thanks them whatever they say
If they underestimate or humiliate you that doesn't mean you are that pathetic.
It just shows qualities of them that they have
Nobody knows how great ability, intellect and skills you have, just keep working hard

What makes best leader different from other mediocre leaders is the ability to understand the situation and ability to understand the minds & hearts of his ppl, patience, calmness.

@Blu_Dragon thanx for sounding little less 'abusive' intellectually... appreciable !!! But, even if u wud hd preferred to repeat ur vocab, I would have found it difficult to match ur 'level' for sure... ;-))
And yes, thanx for d wishes. Wish you success and intellect !

yes, it may be our fault that we didn't go through previous post's, may be we were logging in from office where we don't get that much time or whatever may be the reason. we have to accept our mistake, we can't run away from our responsibilities & mistake as well, and definitely can learn from our mistakes.

Anyways today the result will be declared at any time, after that real journey will start, where we need lot of hard work, patience and consistency in our work

and we can help each other through this forum.

and helping other doesn't mean that person is dumb or doesn't knw anything
it is just he needs motivation and guidance to excel and little bit of help to make all the complicated or even simple procedures/rules to make them easier as much as possible.

Guys stop being nonsensical. This community is for all kinds of people : small or large, doof or intelligent. Come on guys, you are aspiring for one of the best things in life, and you behave this way? What do you expect to bring out of it? Ultimately, all this hub-bub is going to spoil the rapport and goodwill we build in here. This is going to affect us. We all should realise this guys. We are all here for a common thing---Actuaries. Let us all be friends and behave like grown-ups. Lets all discuss things regarding exams, and prove ours or anyone else' point.

At 4pm today, I just called them
m no expert in 'gutter' language...thus unable to respond... !!!

Optimistically, I hve bleak hope that u would stop being sarcastic someday...U have no idea what others might have achieved in their life. And sometimes, those achievements may be matching pace with ur dreams. Cracking one exam is no big deal and asking a query doesn't make anybody vulnerable to ur remarks.

whoever that person is commenting above...whtver ur supposed to ask,it should b reasonable questions ...not like chumma some idiotic questions which u term it as CURIOUS.....all the questions which is asked by UR SO CALLED FELLOW ASPIRANTS r already answered in earlier threads itself...all they need is patience to go through the threads and their doubts r cleared....chumma ask some question and then expect to get a answer asap...bullshit...even before i started with this course, i researched a lot abt it, went through earlier threads and then asked reasonable questions..and u MR ambitious chap , u got to no idea how crap it is...the forum is getting filled by stupid questions..this forum is meant to be proper discussion area...i hope u get the picture clearly..
@ambitious_chap @cj1093 : what makes you think proving your point is going to fetch you marks in your exams? Why can't we just let it go?

Yes i agree, lets forget all this, there no point wasting our time on this.
We are not here to prove anyone wrong or anyone right, we all have difference abilities, skills etc and that is why we are here to help each other so that we can overcome our shortcomings.

be the change that you want to see

P.N. this is not my line, Mahatma Gandhiji has said this.

@RekhaACET Its not like it will add weight to your career..rather it is a field that is entirely different from your IT field. Imagine urself clearing 4-5 papers and applying for a job with your IT experience. Will ur experience carry weight or will ur papers carry weight for an IT job.NO!!!So I would suggest you to take up ACET and actuary course only after a deep thought of ur ambitions and passion. Try going through internet and various actuarial posts and blog before choosing the field because once u go for this course, u will have to donate ur leisure time to studies for at least whole CT series.Finally, the decision is yours. Choose wisely!!!

Thanks for the advice.

Just looked at my ACET result and I have passed. Only 15 more exams to go 😃

i too passed...is there anyone from bangalore???? i plan to give my next exams as per the order given by them .....any other suggestions?????also when are these CT exams held .....exactly

sorry don't have to ans abt when r they held....

Today is ACET result. Congrats to all those who have passed. And to everyone who did not clear it, try it again next time.

And I really feel bad to see the forum in this shape. More so because I may be the person who started it as I got carried away with anger. Then it was blown out of proportion by some unknown guy/girl.

Everyone please accept my sincere apologies for this nuisance. And I urge everyone to get this forum back on track. Let us discuss exam and other techniques rather than fighting among ourselves.

I will be taking CT6 and CT1 this time(May 2013). Anyone who have already cleared these papers any tips for me?

Can we give any CT after clearing ACET? It need not to be in sequence?

@archit123 yes you can. You need NOT follow the order i.e CT1 first and then CT2. I took CT3 first and now CT6 and CT1 on pipeline.

hello everyone, i've cleared ACET:) I had studied finance in MBA and of course mathematics in engg. but not that much of statistics though i like it.


I m targeting 2 exams in CT series, can anyone suggest me which twos to go for ? Pls advise with proper reasoning if u can. Thank You.
This is what I felt about the ACET - if you know calculus, probability, statistics, linear algebra well, then the exam is quite easy. I worked through the learning materials provided by IAI in the 2 weekends before the exam and solved the one sample paper provided. And that was my preparation. The problems in the exam/sample paper were NOT tricky at all.

Now I am targeting 4 CT exams for May. CT3 & CT6 definitely, given that I am quite comfortable with probability and statistics. The other two will most likely be CT1 and CT8. I am not expecting much pressure from work and should be able to devote enough time to prepare.
Are there any papers in the CT series that are generally regarded as "easy"?

I see that the thread has ACET in its name - do you guys know of any other active threads/forums that revolve around the CT series or other actuarial exams?

cleared ACET...now watis the procedure for CT's....howz the syllabus?....nd would it b possible without coaching...? I am doing b.com side by side...

@Blu_Dragon the small window showed lots of light....caught the BUS....
