We are dedicated to offering support to local university students who wish to pursue their careers in the actuarial field and are pleased to offera Student Scholarship Programme to full-time Actuarial Science students. The registration fee of the ASHK Examination will be waived for all scholarship recipients. In addition, they can have an option either to take both Core and Elective papers at a time or sit for the Core exam first. As the  \npioneer batch, over 10 scholarships were granted in 2020.  \nWe are delighted to invite two scholarship candidates, Iris Chan and Marco Wong, Year 3 students of the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK), to share with us their valuable exam experience on Core paper. Iris and Macro passed the Core paper of the ASHK Examination 2020. Passing the ASHK local examinations is a requirement for gaining the qualification of FASHK (Fellow of the Actuarial Society of Hong Kong) .  \n“The exam is helpful as an additional qualification for my job hunting after graduation.” -Marco Wong  \nCopyright © 2021 by Actuarial Society of Hong Kong  \nAs an Actuarial Science undergraduate student, what motivated you most to take this exam?  \nIris: Last year ASHK representatives came over to our campus for an information briefing session. This was the first time I learnt about this examination. The test is not about advanced calculations, but mostly based on regulatory information and guidelines. I realized that the ASHK was introducing the Student Scholarship tous. The exam fee is free for the first time so I hope to take this chance to try out the exam. I was also encouraged by my university, HSUHK. With humility and gratitude, I would like to say that the 2020 scholarship gave me the opportunity to attend my first local actuarial exam.  \nMarco: After the information session, I have a motivation to take up this challenge. As far as I am concerned, the exam is helpful as an additional qualification for my job hunting after graduation. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the ASHK for paving the way for me to attain such a prestigious experience during my undergraduate studies.  \nWhat resources are available to you? Do you think they are useful?  \nThe Core paper covers the knowledge and understanding of the regulatory frameworks and market environment of the financial service industry in general, including roles and responsibilities of practicing actuaries in Hong Kong. As a self-study exam, the ASHK provides candidates with the syllabus, the respective study guide as well as the sample questions to facilitate candidates’ preparation.  \nMarco: ASHK has provided all we need such as study guides and sample questions. I’m good with the self-study basis in the process of exam preparation.  \nIris: The study materials provided by ASHK is good enough. There is plenty of information to help me prepare for the exam.  \nAny tips or strategies to prepare for the Core exam?  \nIf you are also planning on taking the Core paper of the ASHK Examination, here are some useful advice from the two future actuaries.  \nIris: The first tactic is time management for sure. We are better off studying piece by piece every day based on sections and topics. The curriculum is very informative. Candidates might get anxious if the preparation time is too short.  \nAs mentioned, the curriculum is new to me as a student. To make sure I can understand the concepts and meanings, I would always refer to the Chinese version of codes and guidelines which are available downloading from the regulators’website. This is very helpful for us to study independently. Study group perhaps is a good-tohave as well.  \nMarco: I also followed Iris’ strategies. Finding the best study method should be very essential to pass the exam.
