<p>I am currently a Sophomore in Rutgers University.</p>
<p>First, I just want to tell you my story.</p>
<p>I go to college always wanting to do something in business especially finance. However, my parental pressures pushed me to do medicine. So, I take Biology, Chemistry my first year with only one semester of Calc. I continue on, I take Stats for Research, Organic Chemistry, and some gen. ed courses. By this point I am sick and tired of science. I am getting As but I just do not like it, not for me. However, Calc I and Stats and Math I love and have a natural affinity for.</p>
<p>So, I go back and forth medicine or finance. I finally find a career I think I would like being an actuary.</p>
<p>Good Pay, Lots of Math, and the Pay increases are pre-determined based on exams and job performance.</p>
<p>I realize that to be an actuary I need to take the exams. I also know to stay competitive I should take and pass two-three exams while in college.</p>
<p>But I have only taken one semester of calc and one stats course. I realize I should have stuck it out with math and I would have no problem taking the first Actuary exam. But know I am in quite a bind.</p>
<p>I was wondering am I able to learn all the material for the exam in August if I start studying now? Or am I kidding my self by taking the exam with out taking Calc II, Multivariable, or a Calc based Stats class?</p>
<p>Second, What should I take next semester? I have looked and I have picked up Calc II, Econometrics (Econ and Math Major), Calc Based Stats, Gen. Ed. Writing course, Intro to comp sci</p>
<p>I just want some advice on what I should do? Try to study for the exam and take it in August, or just wait till I finish Calc II in the Spring of my Junior year. Or take Calc II, Calc based Stats over the summer. IDK I need some advice.</p>
<p>I know I should go see an adviser. But it is Monday at 2AM so I needed to let this out.</p>
