But havn't decided 100% yet, I think getting into maths + stats is easier is well

Really?

I would've thought Maths + Stats is harder to get into, considering maths is one of the most over-subscribed courses. And I can't really imagine actuarial science being that competitive - I thought it was quite niche and most actuaries actually come from Maths/ Physics/ Engineering :redface:

True, its more over subscribed, I haven't done enough research yet will defo start by the end of June :biggrin:

In some uni's the entry requirements for actuarial science is higher :cry:

So my final decision will be based on my results

Perhaps applied maths or maths+stats isn't that competitive as most applicants tend to go for just maths?

Okay guys...

Had C3 today, glad I finished really early because there were a few questions which too me time to get right...

I spent for ever trying to do one question and realised I copied out my equation wrong which is why the "show that" wasn't working...

Anyway, rectified it all :biggrin:

So, I'm hoping I got 70+! I mean, if I lost marks on my functions work (there was a whole extra question!) it'd be about 3 marks lost maybe...

Overall... I feel I'll be able to try for an A*! :biggrin:

If you're indecisive you should got for Maths + Stats, keeps your options open as with maths you can pretty much go into anything! Including actuary :wink:

. Actuarial science just speeds up the process as you get a few exemptions early...

Yup, only reason why I would go into maths+ stats is because of that! Yeah, exactly, i'm not set on being an actuary so probably won't do acturial science!

Also, theres only like 2 maybe 3 unis that have really caught my eye so I need to see which courses are best for which uni etc :biggrin:

off topic: LOL, my friend just tried to prank call me and failed :rofl3:
