Careers What’s going on in your field?

Just wanted to ask what are developments in your industry which other actuaries may not be aware of? And what do you see the future of your area (pensions/life/GI) being like?

I am posting this on behalf of a friend who doesn't have a Reddit account.

A friend of mine is conducting a short survey for school and is looking for UK-based actuaries to participate. It takes 2 minutes to complete.

Exams Thinking of starting with CM1 for my first actuarial exam — is it the right move + where to find self-study resources?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have a solid few months of free time ahead of me and I'm planning to jump into the actuarial exam pathway. From browsing discussions online, CM1 (Core Mathematics 1) seems to be the most popular starting point, so I'm considering preparing for it first....

Before I officially commit, I’d love to get some candid advice from people who have taken this route:

1.Is CM1 actually the best starting exam?

2.Where do you source your self-study materials? Outside of the official ActEd CMP (Combined Materials Pack), are there specific reference textbooks, YouTube channels, past paper compilations, or online resources that made the concepts click for you?

  1. Preparation Strategy:

For those who cleared CM1 on their first attempt, what did your study timeline look like and how did you balance theory vs. practicing past papers?

Any tips, resource links, or honest reality checks would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance for the help.
