To make up for failing a few times you really need to come back strong and pass a few in a row on your first time.

This way in an interview you can say, "Yeah I failed 3 times on P, but once I got the hang of what I needed to do for these exams I passed the next 2 on my first try"

Then explain what made the difference and how you're an awesome actuarial exam taker now.

I took the July exam and also failed (it was my first time taking the exam). I just completely wasn't prepared. Loaded up too much to handle for the summer.
