Since I didnt do too well, let me share my findings with those dat havent taken d test, I advice you to put fake email address and name and take d test like 4 times before u use ur real email so dat u can know what questions are, I did it the first time with my real email and got 28% and did it a second abd third time with a fake account and got 67%

" In the field provided, please ensure you enter the email address you received this mail. Kindly note that providing a different email address will lead to immediate disqualification."

This quote was directly from the mail. Whatever u do, please dont use another email address(fake or real) on a link from someone else's mail. It means immediate disqualification. If the link in your mail is not enabled,confirm that it is not in your spam folder then send them a mail. I believe they will be on standby to reply to any issue as soon as possible.

Cheers.

check out www.soa.org(society of actuaries,USA) or www.actuaries.org.uk(IFoA,UK),u should have most of the information you need there. Cheers.

ShehuAba: @Alanbb and Opendo pls kindly help us with right infos about Actuary.
How do you get started?
How's the Exams?
When and how is't taken?
The cost?
Is't meant only for graduates?
Other general infos will really be appreciated.
Thanks

Info about becoming an actuary is quite much...a very good mathematical background is needed(preferably as a graduate),not a must tho...the 2 predominant actuarial societies in nigeria are Institute of Actuaries(IOA,UK) and Society of Actuaries/Casualty Actuaries Society(CAS)...SOA n CAS conduct joint prelim exams...i might not be tell u much here...google them,u'll get all d needed info on theire websites...Cheers!!!

opendo21: . Wow! Did you attend the recent meet of the Nigerian Actuarial Society? Please send me a mail at opeakangbe@gmail.com We really need to network and share ideas. Although I'm with the Institute of Actuaries, I'm also taking 2 exams in the Sept/Oct session. Would be a privilege to meet u. I await your call.

I didnt know about the Nigerian Actuarial Society meet,i doubt if i would have been able to attend though...i'll send my number via email so we can discuss better...Cheers...

Hi,i think a career as actuary is a very good option...fully qualified actuaries are very few so they are very valuable...i'm writing SOA exams now,i've passed 2 and i'm preparing for the 3rd one in november.it's been very stressful(combined with my bank work) but the end surely justifies the means...ur mathematics background will also be a great help...maybe u should give it a trial...all d best...
