Hi all!

I'm Hao. I have worked in individual life reinsurance for five years and am really looking forward to getting my ASA along with you all!

Best of luck, let's all pass this FA.

[Austin]

Hi Hao and all,

I'm CY or you may call me Austin. I have worked in life consulting for nearly 1 year in Malaysia. Really nice to have this opportunity to work with you guys, and thank you so much for making this group.

This would be my last requirement aside from APC to get my ASA. Hopefully we all can ace this!!!!

[Jared]

I'm Jared. I've been in life valuation for <1 year.

I'm waiting on results for IA, 6, and 7, and I need to complete the FA and the APC to get my ASA.

With the February 20th deadline having passed only a few days ago I'm kicking myself for not pushing through modules 1-4 sooner to be in a position to finish the FA last week. Nevertheless, I'm not going to take this exam with a sour attitude. It's hard enough as it is (from what I've heard), so why make it harder for myself?

[Tim Hall]

I'm Tim. Been in retirement consulting in the US for just under 2 years.

This is my second FA attempt, and I am just praying to finally get this FAP nonsense over with!

Best of luck all!

[angelo Mastrangelo]

Hi all, I'm Angelo and have worked in retirement consulting near Toronto in Canada for the last 4 years. 

I wrote my first attempt at the end of January and found out last Friday that I DNMMR. I thought I did well enough to pass but here I am again! Task 2 and 5 were the ones I need to improve on the most. 

I plan on getting the next go around this Friday evening. Good luck all!

I have an M.Sc. from Laval Univeristy (Quebec city, Canada) and FA  is the last requirement to get my ASA.

This is my 3rd attempt and I am very motivated to pass.

Hi All,

I'm Becky. I've been working in health insurance for 7 years and before that 2 years in P&C. Decided to push through and get the modules done before the curriculum change(started end of November) and got a DNMMR on the FA last weekend. Hoping to pass on my second attempt as it is my last requirement(APC in March) to get my ASA.

Good luck everyone!

Sorry I'm late in my introduction, but downloaded a bit later than usual.

I am Ed, and I've been in retirement consulting for nearly 4 years, and this is my first attempt, and hopefully the last! 

[Melissa]

Hey everyone. Best of luck - you'll get through this!

(I'm not writing - I'm studying for an exam this weekend. But I've been helping a couple friends with their FAs lately, so I'll check in on this group during my down time and might have some helpful tips if anyone gets stuck. I was in one of the first sittings of this iteration of the FA so I'm fairly familiar with the tasks.)

:)

Melissa, thank you for taking time out of studying to come help us!
