“There were days I felt like giving up.”

That’s how Mansi begins his story — a journey marked by back-to-back failures in actuarial exams that left him questioning his future in the profession.

After struggling with CM1 and CS1, Mansi made a bold decision: to join SMONK. What followed was a transformation driven by structured support, discipline, and belief.

At SMONK, Mansi received:

  • Personalized 1-on-1 mentoring to identify weaknesses
  • Weekly mock drills to simulate real exam conditions
  • Regular feedback loops to continuously improve
  • Concept-focused learning instead of rote memorization

The result? Mansi didn’t just pass — he scored First Class in both CM1 and CS1.

His top tips for actuarial aspirants:

  • Stay consistent, even if you’ve failed before
  • Seek expert guidance — don’t try to do it all alone
  • Master the concepts rather than memorizing formulas

Mansi shares:

“SMONK changed my entire mindset towards exams. I stopped fearing failure and started embracing growth. The right mentorship helped me believe in myself again.”
