I suggest to appear for the A' Level Mathematics exam with Stats papers 1 and 2. If you don't feel like studying the whole subject, sit for the Stats half credit exam. It will introduce you to statistics.

By the way maybe next time you should post these kind of queries in the "Students" or "Careers" sections <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

well... if u don't know stats then it is highly unlikely that you'll even clear the entry test coz a friend of mine gave the entry test for actuary about 3 months back and although he knew stats he was no.64 out of 67 candidates...
so i guess u should learn stats before applying for actuary!! i think farazthegreat has a good advice

If I could... Then I would... Turn back time!!
