How long does it take to get through the exams? In other words, what's the "travel time"?

The search function seems to be down at the moment, but one question I hear a lot (and I am sure there are a couple good threads to cover this) would be:

Is it possible for a university student to have passed too many exams?

http://www.actuary.ca/actuarial_disc...ad.php?t=58304 is a recent discussion of the "sweet spot" of number of exams to maximize one's entry level interviews. In the US, after 4 exams there may be some employers scared off by the potential expense.

If I'm a US citizen, in school and taking exams, personally I'd blow through as many as I could and ignore the problem that some employers might not interview me. You only need one job.™
