 Hey guys, it's MJ the student act tree and I've got some good news I have just passed the online exam, which is the general practice module exam I would have filmed myself doing the exam But that is against the rules and seeing that this exam is based on professionalism and honesty I don't think it would be ethical if I showed you guys what all the right answers were Also because people can still write this exam up till the 11th of November But now what is the general practice module exam? I mean, that's the one thing in actual science. We have a lot of exams I mean as you can see here We have you know probability and mathematics economics finance All of these exams and then right at the bottom. You'll see that f2 10 That is the general practice module. So everybody writes one fellowship Two of the specialist subjects over here. I wrote this one just bonus on top of it and You know, you've got all those other core exams. So in total I've written 15 and I'm waiting to see my result on the fellowship and then that would have been 16 exams in total. I know that is Ridiculously a lot of exams. So in this exam, what what is getting tested? Well, what you're getting tested on in this exam is just the general Environment of actuarial science. So you're gonna touch on finance health insurance life and pensions and then you also have to read and be tested on the actuarial professional code and Also, how they do their disciplinary thing this year this document here the actuarial disciplinary procedure it is 40 pages long and It is Incredibly boring to read and then you go and you get Questions on it. So I think I may have lost the three questions on that because This this exam is you only get 20 minutes. So I was like, oh, you know, I'll just you know Breathe through it and then like noise refer to because it's an open book test. No, it was only 20 minutes It's a marker minute You don't have time to then go through that entire document I read through it, but yeah, it was it was a heavy read the other document that you have to read is The the code of professional conduct. This one wasn't too bad. Although, you know, it's no Shakespeare novel Then there's also one on continuous professional development So those documents you can get for free But then if you want to get a nice little summary of all the stuff that you need to know There is the the actuarial website Where you can go on and you can actually you can buy a textbook that deals with All the stuff that you need to know For this F 210 exam. I think in England is called P zero and I'm not sure what the other professions call it so yeah, click on the general practice module and what I didn't like is that you had to buy it as a Physical book you couldn't buy it as a PDF and also I don't like that price That's one thousand one hundred and fifty Rand for a book and I mean, I've got it here with me I mean, I don't even think it's more than 200 pages So yeah, it is quite a quite a heavy expense. I mean one thousand Rand is around $60 and then that's the same amount that you had to pay in order to to write the exam so All in all it was 2000 Rand To write this thing and you only get one attempt and if you failed you have to pay another thousand Rand to write it again So it is a little bit pricey. It is a little bit expensive But job that is the general practice module exam I mean, yeah, you can read what the syllabus objectives are, you know, you need to understand Such as financial service industry, you need to know who the financial service board is, you know, the whole regulators What are their rules? What's the ethical conduct that should be taken down by firms and individuals and It gives you advice on how you should give advice how you should do reporting and All these relevant things so I mean overall it is an exam that you can only write Lost so I've written all the other exams. This was the final exam Bearing in mind that I did pass the fellowship exam. There is a chance that I'll have to rewrite that again in June next year but Yeah, I'm feeling pretty happy because I passed I needed 16. I got 17 So I'm feeling really good about myself. But yeah, that is the general practice module exam And I think in total that brings up all the actual exams to 16 in South Africa Depending on the country you you're staying in or that you're registered with there might be a few more or there might be a few less But otherwise they all kind of test the same Same things and I think every actuarial profession will have this type of exam that make sure that you have read through All the boring documents So that you know your what you can and can't do as an actuary Anyway, thanks guys so much for watching and I'll see you next time for some actual videos. Cheers
