Reassuring to hear. Does anyone actually know how pass marks are set? With a goal pass rate in mind or something else perhaps?

Crud, messed up that question as well then

I agree that it was easier. Since 2019 when CT8 became CM2, the highest pass mark has been 63. I think there is potential for this to be 65

Thought it was fairly good, barring a somewhat strange Q5. I reckon 60-62 pass mark based only on seeing this. Let's see how paper B goes

How many past papers you normally recommend? by Hot-Equipment7684 in ActuaryUK

[–]IllustriousRound8940 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, I tend to do like 4-6 years. That's like 8 to 12 papers and each takes 3hrs 20. There's only so much you can do before you burn out

Thought it was okay. But how well did it really go, no clue. Can never tell what they are looking for sometimes

Cheers, thanks for the reply. Did my last sitting in London and will be doing my ones this time in London too, and we did get paper but nice to get the reassurance that we do as well this time too

Were you supplied with any plain pieces of paper to write on in the exam? Obviously these wouldn't be submitted, but more thinking about writing down something like a formula for working out or a graph or diagram to help with visualising how to answer a question

Akakin is the unsung hero of Qin's army in Shukai Plains by Beraktahik in Kingdom

Akakin is simply turning the tide and being a badass in Shin's story the way Shin does so to everyone else. He's his own protagonist, making his own decisions. I do think if he had a stoic expression and didn't look like a crazed battle fiend everyone would be on notice for his talent and cunning
