Jennifer - Actuarial

Now I have had time to recover from my exams, it's approaching the time that I need to do some work on my learning log. This is a fairly controversial initiative from the institute of Actuaries meaning that new students need to keep a written record of their training and development. This requires (amongst other less time consuming components) writing four written answers each year to demonstrate the acquisition of various skills during my time as a student.

Work has been busy lately; I'm trying to iron out and explain all the differences from year end to mid year in the risk work that I'm doing. Some changes were made to the actuarial models over the first half year, so I need to make sure that movements arising from model changes are recorded adequately and are not confused with movements following changes to the data.

I'm looking forward to attending a tutorial tomorrow on Statistical Methods, an exam that I'm planning on sitting in April. Usually if I go on a course it's a revision course, although this time it's a taught course. Hopefully this will make my time spent studying much more effective - I'm quite excited about seeing whether this will be the case!
