Sunway’s Actuarial Student Clears All Five Preliminary SOA Exams

Simon Eng Fwu Huey, who is currently only in his second year pursuing the Bachelor of Science (Hons) Actuarial Studies at Sunway University, recently cleared all five Preliminary Society of Actuaries (SOA) exams. His achievement is certainly outstanding as these exams are usually attempted only after one has completed their studies. “I wish to finish as many exams as possible before graduating, to ease the burden of studying for them while holding a job,” said Eng when questioned on what made him take the exams before completing his degree.

Eng, having passed all five exams in Probability, Financial Mathematics, Models for Financial Economics, Models for Life Contingencies and Construction and Evaluation of Actuarial Models, has taken a big step in his path in achieving qualified actuary status and is marching towards a rewarding career upon his graduation.
