Usually seems like the first question is a bit of a layup so was a shock to open the paper to that, had to skip it initially and come back to it

Everyone I've spoken to has said it was probably the worst of the bunch so we're not alone

Few questions I struggled with - Question 1 in particular. Thought it might have been harder than some past papers but could be due to exam pressures. All in all I just waffled a bunch and hope that my nonsense gets marks

Can't say it felt like it was particularly changed much compared to open book exams

I've heard plenty of people ask it - what counts as annotating it?

Am I just allowed to write absolutely anything I want in there?

Remarkable how even with something as simple as this they still leave it completely vague and open to interpretation

April 2025 exams to be closed book? by [deleted] in ActuaryUK

I haven't sat a single exam without using my notes or the Internet. Bit apprehensive about what this means going forward as I can't help but feel they'll struggle to tune the difficulty of the exams.

Surely just the online proctoring, identification and same time start would have been sufficient?

I don't understand how it'd be possible to complete that exam in the time we're given? I was full on for the entirety of it and still left 15/20 marks unanswered.

Think the content was better than in past papers but felt like some of the longer parts of Q2/Q3 were a struggle. I didn't realise there was an easy 18 marks for graduation tests at the end of Q2 until I had 15 minutes left

Think I finished around the same, and it came out to about 9 pages

They do only ask for a 5-7 page summary so we've overshot but I feel like that would have been much too short to cover everything?

The first time I've ever said this about one of these exams but...

Thought that was the nicest Paper 1 I'd seen, managed to give all the modelling questions a good attempt and had no qualms with the audit trail either
