CT1/CT2/CT5/CT8: Study Plan

Page 1

Personal study plan Subjects CT1 CT2 CT5 & CT8 (UK exams)
Here is a personal study plan for you to complete, in order to structure your work in the session leading to the September 2013 exams. You dont have to be too prescriptive at this stage about what precisely you do on each study day. The main thing is to be clear that you will cover all the important activities in an appropriate manner and leave plenty of time for revision and question practice. The plan includes details of useful dates, including assignment deadlines and tutorial finalisation dates that apply to Subjects CT1, CT2, CT5 and CT8 (other dates may apply for other subjects). Here are some hints to make the plan most useful: Make the study plan realistic. Build in time for relaxation. Allow some time for contingencies. Be determined to stick to the plan.

The dates of the exams are set by the profession. Details of the exam dates are available on the professions website at www.actuaries.org.uk.
