however your score of 35 for methods suggests that you might not be a suitable candidate for actuarial studies.
if you do choose to pursue the Actuarial Studies progra at UoM, im pretty sure that it will rule you out of CA/CPA accreditation as you won't be able to fit in the subject BPA.

Brendan, in your opinion, if one wished to pursue actuarial studies, what would you think their methods study score should be?

Well the specialist study score needs to be 38. So that scaled is say 48. To get scaled 48 in methods would take around 45 raw. So my rough estimate is 45 raw in methods.

id say thats a bit rough.
getting an A+ in the methods exams should be enough. a few silly mistakes on the exams and you can be down to a score of ~39-42... however you would still have a strong grasp of the concepts to be able to get a score like that.

I think it would take more than just silly mistakes to drop to 35 though.
shinny:
I wouldn't say Methods is a good indication of one's ability to succeed in actuarial studies though. A large proportion of Methods study score marks are lost just on careless mistakes. Actuarial studies and specialist in some aspects is difficult in the fact that some people just simply can't comprehend that level of Maths. Even VN's own super-god Ahmad just scraped your 'rough estimate', but he definitely seems capable of whatever actuarial studies has to offer.
EDIT: Pfft, others have already raised my point as I was typing ._.
