Today I submitted the Health Systems module. It took longer than I wanted it to, but I still find it difficult to tell exactly what the SOA looks for when grading. The sample solution was very direct, straight to the point. Mine was a little more vague, but I'm confident I hit all the key areas they will look for.
Submitting this took a month longer than I wanted to, but it's done, and that's all that matters. I am now going to start studying for CSP in May! This exam is going down.
I'll keep you posted with the progress. The GRASP manual has a good study schedule. I'm going to try to keep to this as best I can.
Let the real fun begin!

Purpose of the Blog
First, I'm going to lay down a couple of facts:
1. If you're not an actuary, nor familiar with the examination process we go through, you are going to find this blog particularly useless.
2. If you are an actuary, I'm really doing this blog moreso for me than anyone else, so you too are going to find this blog particularly useless.
The purpose of this blog is to track my final SOA examination progress. As it stands today, I have 2 exams left, plus the modules. I intend on using this blog to quickly jot down what I learned from my readings on a particular day (meaning there should be LOTS of posts on here by the time I am done) to explain what I've read in terms easily understandable to myself.
Like for any good mathematician, the order of operations is important. I have two exams and two modules left. Here is my plan for passing these exams and modules:
1. FSA Module 1 - Submitted by August 19. Pass.
2. CSP-GH - Active studying for this exam beginning on August 20 until the exam in early May 2010. Pass.
3. CSP-DP - Active studying for this exam beginning in May 2010 until the exam in early November 2010. Pass.
4. FSA Module 2 - Either after DP or maybe before should time permit.
Completion Date Goal = December 31, 2010
This means I want to have all the requirements for my FSA designation by December 31 of next year.
Thank you! Although this blog is moreso for me (as mentioned before), feel free to ask me any questions.
