The SOA Difference
A Candidate’s Perspective
“I deliberately looked for an actuarial society that is broad and international to match my situation and circumstances … SOA is very popular in China, which is my country of origin, so that’s part of the reason why I went with the SOA.”
A Candidate’s Perspective
“I feel the SOA General Insurance track, especially the exams like the Introduction on Ratemaking and Reserving, is very good because it gives a lot of numerical examples. I can apply this to my daily tasks, too.”
A Candidate’s Perspective
“The SOA track is quite helpful because it emphasizes state-of-the-art tools and methods used in [the] general insurance/property-casualty arena, like the Applications of Statistical Techniques Module, which enabled one to get a lot of practice using R.”
