Glad you put the table up of core and elective subjects. Gave me a better grasp of what is required.

Great vid 🎉. Would you consider doing a budgeting tips video for young professionals? I think your take on the subject would be valuable

@8:56 Lack of refrigerator shelves would drive drive me crazy! Maybe one or more are missing? You might consider getting replacement shelf for your model from an appliance dealer, or maybe a set of stacking plastic drawers that would fit inside fridge.

@nicolad8822 9 ай бұрын

Especially since the fridge is open to your living area I would maybe avoid a frost free one if buying new. They make more noise and also seem more prone to failure in my experience.

I got 47 wpm on the typing test. Taking breaks are good to take from studying or you'll stress yourself out. I hope you passed your CP1 & SP exam. Disney+ just went up on me. Went from $79.99 USD up to $109.99 USD.

@nirajshah8023 9 ай бұрын

I did cp1 and sp6 this sitting and it was a very intense sitting!! I am really hoping I pass both, then I will only have 1 more exam left :) hope you pass both and then you can qualify next sitting!

Dont worry if u failed cp1 3 times. Its NOT only u who failed an exam several times. I failed accounting managerial course 5 times and I finished my thesis bachelore in economics, accounting. I have only this course to pass in order to get my degree. I am failing because of swedish language is not my first language. But I am learning everytime something new. IT WAS THE STUDY TEKNIK IN WHICH WAS WRONG. I was lucky that my mom was accountant who taught me the math part and my husband swedish language is his first. He taught me the theory part. I noticed alot of info i didnt know. DO A VISION BOARD WITH PICTURES OF U PASSING THE EXAM AND LOOK AT IT EVERYDAY AND IT WILL HAPPEN WITH DEFINITLY PRODUCTIVITY. BUT GOODLUCK WITH SP EXAM ALSO.

Dear Paige, could you give more information about this ice skating course? Is it popular and a usual offer for adults? Do you share the ice with the public or does your group have a separated area? Why did you decide to do that? I find this sport very interesting and it suprised me to learn about such a possibilty in Cambridge.

@nicole_holding 9 ай бұрын

If you have the time can you do a vlog on what you miss about Cambridge and whether you regret not doing a Masters before actuary work.

Hope you passed! Was the SP exam the only one you need to take (because it covers three topics)? Or do you have two more SPs ahead of you?

Me too! 🤞 I have two more specialists after this one: one SP (“specialist principle” and one SA (“specialist advanced”)

I had two midterms. I got a not great grade of 80.5 in my linear Algebra(however I did have a 103% previously so that helped and I still have an A ) and I got a 96 on my databases course

@ninthusiva7546 9 ай бұрын

How do you get 103% ?

@BadThetan 9 ай бұрын

@@ninthusiva7546we have quiz discussions where after the quiz you can ask about problems you missed and also help others with problems they missed. There is a rubric but getting specific help with what you missed from others in the class is the only way to get feedback on what you missed. You are expected to ask 1 question answer two or if you got 100% and don’t have questions you can just answer 3. But he gives out extra credit if you do more and so I have a 200% in that part. It’s only worth 5% of our grade. Problem is that I can’t get any higher could only get lower so at this point the extra credit doesn’t really benefit me anymore but I also can’t let it drop
