Sloppy question, precise answer.

Is the record still age 21 as of now? It seems like more and more people are getting FSA at a younger age now..or maybe that's just my misperception.

This person is a special case because he took the U.K. exams first and got mutual-recognition credit. I restrict these "youngest actuary" records to people who stayed in the SOA/CAS system from start to finish. The record by that rule is still 22.

Not as impressive, but I passed Exam 1 shortly after turning 17. The record is well in the rear view mirror for me now.

Bruce, just out of curiosity, are you one of the youngest FSA in history too, or close?

I'm roughly number 150 on the all-time list. I was 24, which was -- and still is -- young, but far from a record.

I wonder if there is a correlation with the younger you get credentialed the bigger nerd you are?
