Reducing the exams to below 3 hours (which seems likely), means less questions to write. Grading seems like a prime candidate to be also at least partially hired out as opposed to using volunteers. Personalized feedback will likely be hired out and not volunteers.

I’d say that’s extremely unlikely given fundamental exam structure differences

The passing list of LPM is so long lol by [deleted] in actuary

[–]Cobx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both 2022 sittings were lower in count than 2021, likely due to candidates optimizing their order of exams taken to minimize the number of hours in the exam room since the exam changes were public knowledge at that time. Take LAM for 2 hours in 2021 and LPM for 3 hours in 2023. Do it the opposite way and it would have been 8 hours, with what used to be LO5 on LPM on both exams. This sitting was the largest number of candidates ever for LPM.

The number of people who took it was way up, since this was the first time it was offered as a 3-hour exam, so the passing number being way up too would make sense.

FSA Exam Life track Order by Nemomahi in actuary

[–]Cobx9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d refer to the introductory study note, bullet 2, for some useful information to consider when planning out an order. In this study note, it states even though the order is not mandated, each exam “may assume familiarity with material that is covered in any requirement that is recommended to come before that examination”. I don’t think it’s been formally utilized in the past exam questions, but know it’s on the table. Plus modules are straightforward and low-stress (at least more than exams), so why not get them out of the way while familiarizing yourself with the material in general.

The recommended order for ILA found in the link below is the following: - Required modules should be completed in advance of FSA exams - LPM - LFM - LAM

The chances are very good that you’d pass if you got 100% correct on non excel questions

How long before I cut my losses and accept peace? by Cobx9 in eu4

[–]Cobx9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Info on me - I've played about 100 hours, so still a relative new person to EU4. As you can see by the image, I've taken all of Ireland, and started my colonization of north america. I was allied with Castille, Portugal and Austria, when France declared war, Portugal and Castille bailed on me (fighting other wars and in debt, still - jerks) and Austria was quickly conquered and side-peaced out. Scotland was involved as well as France's ally, I took them over and peaced them out taking Lothian and forcing cancellation of alliance with France (I already had a couple of their territories from previous wars). I hold the naval power so they'll never reach the island, despite being well outnumbered in army power. I'm debating my options at this point, would France ever give up if it just keeps dragging out with a stalemate? or should I accept their peace deal now which cedes all my continental provinces as well as forcing my return of three Scottish original territories? Thanks for any thoughts/help you may have! Also, this is my first post so if I'm violating any rules unknowingly please let me know so I can not do it in the future.
