nah as long as you're quite proficient in mathematics with a reasonable level of passion then you should do okay :)

I talked to Dr He last year about actuarial studies and he thought that you would need about a 43 in spech to be able to cope with the workload. Do be aware that this is just a rough guide, if you do nothing but maths and just get a 43 in spech it's not a get out of jail free pass that means you will DEFINITELY get though actuarial studies, it is jut a rough estimate...

taiga:
Just gonna try dispel some fear mongering :P Your high school performance doesn't necessarily indicate your ability to excel in a certain course at uni. You'll find that in some cases you'll have kids scoring in the 90s in mathematics subjects whilst having got sub 40 scores in high school, or at least that was the case in my classes.
I think the cutoff for actuarial entry is 38 (?) in spec, and if you're able to get that you shouldn't find any first year maths overly difficult. It's probably more about being consistent and dedicated in your following years.

A side question from myself - Does having an Actuarial Science major in Commerce without any Professional Accreditation serve any purpose? As in, are there still open jobs for it?
