<br />Unfortunately my school only offers further maths at AS level. However I'll look for books about statistic if i want to pursue a career in that area.
Btw, derivativetrader, LSE is one of my dream school. Is intake for actuarial science very competitive?
Again thanks for all your advices.

My school wasn't able to offer FM either but I took some initiative and did the full A Level on self-study.
LSE is a good school and I would definately recommend applying for it. Some people say it that City is alot better for actuarial and the fact is it might be but who knows whether you'll enjoy actuarial science after 3 years. LSE is a great brand name all over the world and every year majority of its grads land jobs everywhere in the finance industry.
Competition is fierce. I think all most of fellow students have at least 3 A grades at A Levels. You may find some interesting facts at the following link
