Im only studying NSW Extension 1 Mathematics. Can I study actuarial studies?
Mathematics Extension 1 is sufficient to satisfy prerequisites for the actuarial degree. However, the actuarial course does require a high level of mathematical ability. If for example you are not studying Mathematics Extension 2 because your school did not offer it, then this is not a problem. However, if you are not studying Mathematics Extension 2 because your teachers advised that you were not likely to cope with it, then you should probably not be considering the actuarial program. Whichever level of high school extension mathematics you do, we recommend you only attempt actuarial studies if you obtain the top performance band.
