![]() My employer is requesting that I plan out which exams I will be sitting for in 2019 so that they may budget appropriately for exam fees/study materials. I currently have credit for FM, P, SRM, and all VEEs. I am waiting on a result for Exam IFM in about 2 weeks and will be retaking it in November should I receive a failing mark.
The two options that I see as most efficient would be: Apr LTAM, Oct STAM, June PA (in 2020) OR Feb STAM, June PA, Oct LTAM Does the latter sound too ambitious, especially with exam PA being relatively unknown and only having transfer credit for SRM? Will the first plan set me behind at all getting an ASA 2 years after undergrad? Also, what study materials would people recommend for LTAM & STAM? I appreciate the advice! |

![]() Like you mentioned, everything depends on if you have to retake anything. If you have to take IFM again in November, then Feb might cut it close for STAM with holidays. Then again, going from October 19 to June 20 might feel like a long time between sittings. Personally, my rhythm would lean towards the latter, depending on how confident you feel you did on IFM. Can you wait 2 weeks for your results before deciding?

![]() I don't think I can wait the two weeks, but after speaking with coworkers I believe I would be best to put down the more aggressive plan as it is better to accidentally overbudget than underbudget.
