Ok, here is a deal. Since Year 10, I have been looking at Actuarial Studies as my future career as I have been hearing from people that it is the best course that you can do if you like maths and commerce.
At the same time, however, I was advised that this course is only for people who are not only extremely good at maths but also for people who love it. But how good do you have to be in order to attain all the exemptions available and become an actuary? And would it be really boring for people who only perceive maths as some subject of interest?
If I am looking at around 98/99 for 3 unit and 97+ for 4 unit maths, is it enough? It's important to note that those marks are quite realistic for me in terms of my current performance but I believe that I am no way close to being naturally good at maths to some maths olympiads or other geniuses.
I am also hearing other views that actuarial studies hardly involves maths in its entirely but certain section of it. Is it true? Is Actuarial Studies some random crap that lies between maths and some other absurdly difficult discipline?
Swift reply would be really appreciated.
