About me:
Currently working full time in Insurance Consulting, and studying for IFoA professional exams to become a qualified actuary. I studied Physical Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge 2017-2020, and specialised in Astrophysics.

Glad you put the table up of core and elective subjects. Gave me a better grasp of what is required.
@8:56 Lack of refrigerator shelves would drive drive me crazy! Maybe one or more are missing? You might consider getting replacement shelf for your model from an appliance dealer, or maybe a set of stacking plastic drawers that would fit inside fridge.
I did cp1 and sp6 this sitting and it was a very intense sitting!! I am really hoping I pass both, then I will only have 1 more exam left :) hope you pass both and then you can qualify next sitting!
Fingers crossed for you!!
I passed both :) found out yesterday
Dont worry if u failed cp1 3 times. Its NOT only u who failed an exam several times. I failed accounting managerial course 5 times and I finished my thesis bachelore in economics, accounting. I have only this course to pass in order to get my degree. I am failing because of swedish language is not my first language. But I am learning everytime something new. IT WAS THE STUDY TEKNIK IN WHICH WAS WRONG. I was lucky that my mom was accountant who taught me the math part and my husband swedish language is his first. He taught me the theory part. I noticed alot of info i didnt know. DO A VISION BOARD WITH PICTURES OF U PASSING THE EXAM AND LOOK AT IT EVERYDAY AND IT WILL HAPPEN WITH DEFINITLY PRODUCTIVITY. BUT GOODLUCK WITH SP EXAM ALSO.
Lycka till
Ive got 120 wpm, but ive got small and nimble fingers. Definitely helped for my professional qualification exams.
Insane! 👏
I've got 65 wpm in English and 73 wpm in Dutch (my first language) so really quite pleased with that.
Great vid 🎉. Would you consider doing a budgeting tips video for young professionals? I think your take on the subject would be valuable
Love your content 😁..... Eagerly waiting for your next WFH vlog ❤
I got 47 wpm on the typing test. Taking breaks are good to take from studying or you'll stress yourself out. I hope you passed your CP1 & SP exam. Disney+ just went up on me. Went from $79.99 USD up to $109.99 USD.
I got 81 wpm! Although I see in the comments that some people got 100+. My competitive side is wanting to get higher 🤣👏🏻 sending lots of luck for your exams x
I was LITERALLY doing a typing speed test a minute before my CM1 exam this September! lol 😂😂
78 WPM! Consequences of software engineer and no social life as a teenager 😂
Especially since the fridge is open to your living area I would maybe avoid a frost free one if buying new. They make more noise and also seem more prone to failure in my experience.
My exams starts next week and I'm watching your video now to be motivated
If you have the time can you do a vlog on what you miss about Cambridge and whether you regret not doing a Masters before actuary work.
Thanks for the vlog, good luck in your exams! Also, I got 78 wpm 😂
Dear Paige, could you give more information about this ice skating course? Is it popular and a usual offer for adults? Do you share the ice with the public or does your group have a separated area? Why did you decide to do that? I find this sport very interesting and it suprised me to learn about such a possibilty in Cambridge.
Enjoyed the touch typing test!!! Managed 75 WPM which I'm quite proud of :D
I had two midterms. I got a not great grade of 80.5 in my linear Algebra(however I did have a 103% previously so that helped and I still have an A ) and I got a 96 on my databases course
How do you get 103% ?
@@ninthusiva7546we have quiz discussions where after the quiz you can ask about problems you missed and also help others with problems they missed. There is a rubric but getting specific help with what you missed from others in the class is the only way to get feedback on what you missed. You are expected to ask 1 question answer two or if you got 100% and don’t have questions you can just answer 3. But he gives out extra credit if you do more and so I have a 200% in that part. It’s only worth 5% of our grade. Problem is that I can’t get any higher could only get lower so at this point the extra credit doesn’t really benefit me anymore but I also can’t let it drop
Every time your vlog ends Paige, I wish it was longer!
Ahh very kind - I do cut a lot of long rambles!
@@PaigeY Oh please don't! It is very comforting and relatable to hear you speak.
Paige we need live sessions .Please do live sessions . We need you as our study budy.
Hope you passed! Was the SP exam the only one you need to take (because it covers three topics)? Or do you have two more SPs ahead of you?
Me too! 🤞 I have two more specialists after this one: one SP (“specialist principle” and one SA (“specialist advanced”)
tried the test and got 75wpm! :D
Can you show us fhe different exam materials from acted.
Very good video @paigeY are you saying SP7 saves you an exam? So you can get away with 2 exams at he Fellow level
Hey Paige, where was that 2 story coffee shop you were in? Was it a coffee shop? Cheers!
Michaelhouse Café, Trinity St.
SP7 question 1) How many chips can you fit on a plate?

anf I grt 120 un my typing test Beeet that.
Where’s your mug from?? I’d love to get one with my dog on it
It was a present from friends, which I think they found on Etsy!
What ‘hot topics’ came up? Did AI make it?
I’m struggling to remember now, wiped the experience from my brain 😂 but climate risk came up a lot this sitting, and they also asked about parametric insurance. No AI that I can remember!
Exams in 4 and 5 weeks. I've been studying all the time. I'm now about to have my 3rd evening off in a row and I can't wait!!!
Eeee good luck! Keep the balance of work and breaks 😊
40 wpm. Grrrrr
Paige ❤
88 WPM!!!! e-exam student generation haha
You mentioned snail mail. What is that? Is the matt d'avella newsletter or something else. Because I'm very sad that its ending soon😭
You make me feel old
Snail mail = post through letter box (rather than email and online delivery!)
lol I got 90 WPM but I do the 2-4 finger system? haha
Maybe I need to revert haha
