Fall 2017 MLC Progress Thread

[slinkydoe]

Probably going to start studying soon.

Plan is to finish modules up to the IA before I really start studying for this. Then do my IA right after MLC and finish the FA before the end of the year. Then I would get my ASA before 7/1. Would also mean that I am going to be taking Life Pricing exam Spring 2018......lol

I am in for the Fall sitting as well, will start studying in July probably...

When does the registration begin for the Fall sitting?

Had the exact same plan as you, except issue is I have made zero progress in my modules as of today...

Also you can't attempt FA until your IA is marked, which takes about 2 months, so you probably wont be able to finish FA by the end of the year..

Didn't realize that.

Well I really really doubt I will take my IA before MLC so I guess I'll take my FA as soon as I pass my IA and hope for the best!


also I have always used ASM+ADAPT/Mahler PE, I managed to get ASM+TIA for MLC, has anyone had experience using both? Probably going to do my ASM manual as a first pass then watch the TIA videos. When I get closer to my exam I'll probably just use one.


also modules suck. Hoping to finish 3 this weekend. who knows though.

I dont get what this is saying, wouldnt it be from age 0 to x+t? see attached snip

The LHS is the probability that a person age 0 survives x + t years to age x + t.

The RHS is the probability that a person age 0 survives x years to age x, and then this person age x survives t years to age x + t.

Thank you. Also, given this information, when it says "It shows that we can interpret the probability of survival from age x to age x+t as the product of"

*to be inline with equation 2.4 wouldnt it have to say "survival from age 0 to age x+t as the product of"?

So it turns out that when I checked the 2nd edition, it is saying the correct thing which is from age 0 to age x+t.

Dodged a bullet there.

Why divide by dx when using the limit definition for the force of mortality?

I suggest sooner rather than later tbh! I'm starting again next Monday (2nd attempt).
