I had to force myself not to open any material this weekend. It's funny how when you get in a habit of working every day towards something it is difficult to feel okay with taking it easy for a week. I spent the extra time getting my cover letter and resume together.

i will be studying for C by the end of the week even though I have more than 5 months left.

I'm not studying for C until my results come out. I'm not potentially wasting time and $ on study materials and then have to take MFE again.

Just an FYI - Plan to spend at least an extra month on C.

I think it's smart / basic to wait until the results come out though.

Started studying today! I was going to use ASM, but I decided to use the TIA seminar along with the Actuarial Brew review notes/huge question bank! My goal is to learn the material as quickly and efficiently as possible so that I can work a butt load of practice problems. Happy studying everyone!

So far, I'm breezing through the material! I can't wait until it picks up! Yeah buddy!

*has no idea if he should be in this thread*...

Waiting is kinda lame. But we all know this. Good luck studying... I may be come June.

First post!! I just passed FM a little over a week ago after a two year break. I hope to make up for lost time by passing MFE my first shot in August. Currently using an online ASM manual to learn from. Wish me luck!

Good Luck! So far, I am really enjoying this material!

I'm going to start studying tomorrow. Anyone in San Diego taking the test in August?

Blah!!! Life got very busy in the last week so I really haven't dug into the material yet.

I'm hoping to really get started this week though.

I was thinking the other day about the prelim tests. I assumed most people taking P and FM weren't already working in the actuarial field but I wonder what percentage of people taking MFE are already working in the actuarial field.
