I passed exams P and FM last summer (FM in June and P in July). I was thinking about taking exam MFE in November but I decided to take a break to brainstorm and to allow myself to develop higher level of professional and academic maturity.
Background:
I am an actuarial science undergrad student who is switching to mathematics after doing an research extensive about academic majors and the final decision was based on a poll consulting people's opinion on this forum.

I decided to switch to mathematics and I took courses like partial differential equations (scored an A), Calculus 4 (advance vector calculus up to stoke's and divergence theorems in addition to some introductory complex-calculus, scored an A-). I scored an A- in statistical inference and I took discrete mathematics, however, the discrete math's letter grade has not been out yet.
Next semester I will be taking numerical analysis, complex analysis, 2nd programming class, physics, applied multivariate analysis (part of the VEE credit) and topology (not sure whether to take or skip topology, I know that such an abstract course can be very beneficial).
My Question:
I am thinking about taking further actuarial exams in 2015. I am intending to take the best of both worlds (UK and SOA systems) considering the fact that taking any exam or set of exams in one society exempts from the corresponding exams in the other society.
Exemption from the UK exams for certain SOA exams: http://ift.tt/1B1EOu9
Exemption from the SOA exams for certain UK exams: http://ift.tt/1B1EOub
What do you think about:
1) (taking MLC and C to get exempted from CT 4 and 5) VS (getting exempted from MLC after taking CT4 and 5 and from C and VEE applied statistics after taking CT6)
2) Exam MFE VS. CT8
3) FAP Modules VS CA 1 and 2
I know that generally speaking the SOA exams are more challenging computationally and they require more manipulation while the British ones are more conceptual/academic and they tend to require understanding the concepts and models deeply and thoroughly. Which system (SOA vs UK) is better in each/any of the aforementioned 3 points, and why?
Thank you in advance for your reply
