Meet Divya Prasad, a determined student who successfully transitioned from completing her Chartered Accountancy (CA) journey to clearing 4 Actuarial Science papers (CM1, CS1, CB1 & CB2) within just 12 months—a feat that reflects not just talent but immense dedication and smart strategy.
After finishing CA, Divya decided to pursue her passion for numbers and risk modeling by diving into the actuarial field. She joined S.MONK's offline training program in Mumbai, where structured schedules, weekly tests, and mock exams became her routine.
What set Divya apart?
- Discipline – She never missed a class, followed her timetable rigorously, and made time for weekly revision.
- Consistency – Even on challenging days, she stuck to her plan—solving past papers, revising concepts regularly, and attending doubt sessions.
- Mock Practice – By attempting every mock paper offered by S.Monk, she was exam-ready far ahead of the actual dates.
- Balanced Approach – She knew when to push and when to pause. With a background in CA, she brought strong fundamentals but adapted quickly to the unique style of actuarial exams.
Her biggest tip for aspirants?
"Consistency is the key. Take tests regularly. Trust the process, trust your mentors, and keep revising."
Today, Divya has appeared for her 5th paper and is more motivated than ever to become a qualified actuary.
