Starting CS1 + CB2 prep now while working full-time. Do I have enough time?

Hey everyone. I’m planning to start properly studying this week for CS1 and CB2 in September while working full-time. Do you think this is enough time if I stay consistent? Also, how would you split the study over the next few months while working?

My main concerns are:

  1. How many hours/week of study worked for you
  2. whether to study both together or focus on one at a time
  3. When to start past papers

I’ve got a decent economics background(studied it at school and a bit in uni), and I have studied Stats at University.

Any advice from people who’ve done these while working would be appreciated.

Hello everyone. I currently work and study towards the Actuarial Exams.

I’m trying to decide the best combination of actuarial exams across the next 3 sittings (screenshot attached).

I’ve completed CM1 (April 26) and have a solid background in economics (CB2) and have some knowledge on broader CS1 material from the university.

My main concern is the September sitting. It’s shorter and right after summer, when I plan to take some time off.

Which combinations would you recommend? Any pairings that are too heavy or work well together?
