"Yeah no offence I don't want the journey" 😆

Really appreciate all the supportive comments, thanks you beautiful people! 🫶 I’ve just posted my full exam results breakdown by paper and marker over on Threads. My username is @_paige_y www.threads.net/t/CucGMtlI9Ka/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

You didn’t fail. You passed half what you set out to accomplish. The other was practice, and you will pass it later.

So so proud of you Paige ❤ Rooting for you!!

Don’t lose faith now, Paige!! You absolutely can do this, and you know it☝️☺️A big hug, and good wishes for your next (with a big Pass) exams❤️

Congrats to you and Lydia! Don't worry about the re take Paige. Actuarial exams are well known to be incredibly hard! Xx

I hope you feeling a bit better! CP1 is a big one. I felt your pain in with that 59! Better luck next time and congrats on the pass.

I appreciate you sharing your experience and don't be too hard on yourself, these are tough exams. You will be successful; just be patient 😁

Congratulations on CP2 Paige🥳🥳, don’t let the CP1 subject get you down, it’s a very big exam and you’ll nail it next time😊❤

Ahh dw girl ! fails happen and that’s what makes us human ! You’ve inspired me sm especially through ur Cambridge journey where I started watching since 13 and now I’m 18 and am going to find about my uni results soon 😭 xx

Congratulations on CP2! I failed CP1 twice but finally managed to pass it this sitting (62.75 marks so literally just above the past mark), so don't give up and I'm sure you'll it pass it soon!

Been watching you for 4 years Paige❤. Now I am in 2nd year of college. Failure is a journey as you said. We need to learn from it and move on. Love the way Lydia kept on making you feel good about your results🥹. All the best. You will always be my inspiration❤

It's not a failure. It's just another step on your journey to getting your dream job. I know exactly how you feel, as I have to retake a University module next year, due to failing it and I won't be able to graduate until I do so. I reacted very badly to the news. I cried, I screamed and went into complete meltdown. I was very pessimistic about my future after that. The feeling of sadness and disappointment is still there, but it will fade with time. You are probably feeling like crying and screaming right now and feel pessimistic about what will happen, but it will get better and it is those bumps in the road which are the best moments, as they build our resilience and allow us to plow on through and succeed! This will get better! Use this moment to move forward and build on your success!

Sorry Paige on that one exam, and congratulations 🎉 on CP2. As a person who is still doing the undergraduate degree on my way to writing the same exams, I’m learning and looking forward to your next pass🎈. You’ll pull through eventually.

Never seen such two charming Y"s :-) All the best with the retake, you'll be fine.

Wow. These actuarial exams are clearly very difficult, given all the exams you passed at Cambridge. All the best.

The fact that you passed all the core principles papers on the first take is super impressive

I feel your pain it’s giving flashbacks 😭

Congratulations for passing CP2! and sorry for CP1 as well. It's ok to be sad, I understand. Hope you get better now❤(I haven't finished my final exams yet😂)

We literally had the same exam reveal experience... So glad we both managed to clear CP2 sitting (it was a nice paper). I opened that one first too so i was super happy. Then I opened CM2 to be gut punched again.... sigh...I am so over taking it again. I had my pity party, shed my tears... and have decided to give it another go. Trust me we are all doing our best and we will get there.

I highly approve of the presentations with the graph to illustrate the point that you passed but they failed you 🙃. Well done!

FCAS here (qualified a very long time ago) - I know I've said this before but I know a lot of actuaries and very few never failed an exam. All you can do is keep plugging.

Congrats Paige! Passed CP2 as well. Just a thought of why they moved the pass mark, perhaps more students were acing it this round, so they adjusted the pass mark upwards to maintain the standard. Anyway, don't be discouraged! Give CP1 another go! You will ace it next round.

I can certainly relate to the gut wrenching feeling of failing an exam. But take it from someone who had to retake an exam 3 times, that it's the difficulties in one's journey, that make the victory in the end an even sweeter one. And in our eyes, you are already an Actuarial Associate! 😉 Chin up Paige, You got this! 💖💖💖

I recently passed my Chartered accountant intermediate exams it had 8 papers and I had failed once before but I can assure you it'll be worth it when you pass. All the best for next time you'll get through it for sure

That was a tough one. Don't be discouraged Paige! I believe you will get there in the next sitting! You already said this is the toughest actuarial exam out there. Oh and congratulations to Lydia on the first! That is amazing! On another note though, I do have two questions. 1) When exactly was your exam results day? Am thinking of heading to London in mid to late June next year and I noticed that you both were still wearing trench coats when you were outdoors. I was initially apprehensive of heading there since I expected it to be warm in the summer (had enough of heat in Singapore!), but to see your outfits tell me that it is still rather cold in London during this time. 2) How does the IFOA decide on the passing grade? Is it based on a bell curve? It can be rather harsh if it is determined based on a bell curve.

Sorry to hear about CP1, but fails happen and I’m sure you’ll get it next time like you did with CP2! SOA FSA results come out next week so good luck to all the SOA actuaries🤞

Congrats on CP2 Paige - I think it was a close call for me on that one too which made it all the more satisfying getting it👏🏻👏🏻

yesterday i sat for an exam which was easy, like I had spent the day prior and that same morning doing excercises without much problem, even when i first saw the exercises i thought i would be able to do them with ease, but as i did them i started making lots of mistakes, and was basically unable to finish the exam. it was frustrating because it was my last exam, and while preparing i felt like i had a chance to get a 10

Paige, I am glad that you passed your CP2. I am sorry that you failed the CP1 exam. It is so frustrating especially if you studied so hard for it. So you will not be taking CP1 again, will you? I congratulate your sister for getting a first. Is your sister graduating this year? What is she going to do next a Master's, PhD, or just look for a job?

I'm sorry to hear about your fail Paige, I have gone through the same with CIMA and I missed out on loads for an exam and I failed by 3 marks. How many exams have you got left?

Well done Paige, and don’t forget what matters most is how much you’ve learnt and the journey of course. funny you said the same thing in the video while I was typing this out 😂 but yeah, the main thing is you spend every day meaningfully and you’re better today than you were yesterday. Congrats!

So sorry, your mark is about as close as you can get to passing, but yes ‘come back stronger’ must be the mantra. I can believe the best actuaries are those that have failed some exams. It probably sounds hollow now but I do think you learn more from failure, defeat etc along the way.

Congrats Paige! I just passed my first year of UCL with 1.2% away from a first :'( I'm still happy but kicking myself due to an earth science practical I skipped because I knew I would still get a first in that module, but it prevented me from getting the first overall. Well done to everyone else who has had results!

As a person that sets high expectations for herself , this may seem like a fail . But honestly you did fantastic . Don’t beat yourself up . Looking forward to the pass video soon 😊

Hang in there Paige, just keep "chopping wood" and you'll get there, I admire your work ethic and all you're doing, new house, new job, taking exams, social life, etc. Did we meet any possible boyfriend at the conference?

Well you passed the hard one. I failed one of my finals for university…my human anatomy & physiology 2 final. Managed to barely pass the class.

❤❤❤❤

Congrats for passing CP2, Paige! Don’t worry you’re gonna crush CP1 in the next seating. I’m waiting for my result for CP1 “equivalent” under SOA the end of this month and this video makes me scared… hhaahahaha

Just remember you are MORE than a letter on a piece of paper. ❤❤ Sending congrats on your pass though.

For spreadsheets, do you use Excel, Sheets or something else?

Being an Actuary seems pretty boring, not sure why people would be interested in corporate shilling

I am a statistics lecturer. I am planning on writing CB1, CS1, and CB2 in April. Do you think it's too much?

paige future priminister

moving goalposts doesn't count...you really passed and thats that!

well done

👍❤

Even though you failed, 59 points are a lot (esp compared to the pass marks of the last sittings) and you can benefit from all the knowledge you've already gained in the next sitting! You'll do great then!

CP1 is a nightmare with what they accept on the mark scheme. It's just random...

I see a notification from Paige, ofc I click it

It is not end of the world

I thought lecturers weren’t marking? So many students have not been given a final classification. Well done to Lydia! Your are still smashing it. So many smart people say Actuarial exams are far harder than anything you ever do at Uni.

Can you share your linkedin link

🤗

Did you take a gap year between sixth form and cambridge?

It's so funny. Today I just celebrated a failure too! I even said too "here is to failure" I had one subject left to complete my masters degree in architecture and I failed it. The important thing is that I won't give up, and I'm sure you won't too :)

how often are you allowed to take an exam? I am asking because in Germany you often are only allowed to take an exam 4times

With a million places in prime London to eat, they choose Pizza Express. 😂

First comment. I opened yt for this onlyy

I love you ❤ keep going

Literally just failed one of my commercial pilot exams today 😢 I Never watch these videos on my results day but of course Paige is a special youtuber so I had to click on it 😂 Congratulations on your passed examination And better luck next time on the failure ❤ we only come back stronger from them 🫶🏻

I think you have to look at it like “this was not an exam you could pass in one try” just like CP2 So, you’ve now gotten a fail out of the way and can move on towards a pass Like if you cook a new dish and it comes out kinda 🫤 at least you’ve learned from the experience and can cook it much better the next time
