Description

Suitable for students looking for an in-depth understanding of concepts tested in SOA Exam P/ CAS Exam 1.All of the course objectives for SOA Exam P are covered in depth in this course.Also suitable for actuarial students and practitioners who are looking to brush up their understanding of Probability.Part 2 covers the following course objectives:Course Objective 4: Multivariate Random Variables & DistributionsCourse Objective 5: Advanced Probability TopicsSummary/Comprehensive: RevisionExam P is a pre-requisite for Exam FAM and Exam ASTAM/ALTAM and other upper level SOA exams.Please be sure to refer to the SOA and CAS websites for the most current details regarding the exams. About the InstructorI am very passionate about actuarial science and education, and have been actively involved in the actuarial education scene for many years. I have been tutoring students for SOA (Society of Actuaries) exams for 5 years, and have volunteered as the Education Chairperson for the Actuarial Society of Malaysia from 2018 to 2020.I have also lectured in a number of universities, including Inti International University & Colleges, Universiti Malaya and UCSI University. I am also currently an Industry Advisor at the Asia Pacific University (APU).I actively volunteer to speak to students about actuarial science, and do mentor students.
