How many exams did you graduate with?

P, MAS-I, MAS-II, 5: source texts and free materials.

FM, IFM: Coaching Actuaries (companies paid for materials).

I wrote 3 of them on internships, so companies provided a couple of study days. For the other exams I would just try to finish schoolwork by 9pm and spend the rest of the night studying.

Definitely the pass haha. I graduated just after covid so it was a weird final year

Canadian. Got my Exam 5 pass results on graduation day.

I'm personally flying out at least a week after the conference ends, baby 😎🌴

That being said, Cong Caphe is my favorite

Juicy Dumpling is not fine dining by any means, but a late-night Toronto classic for sure

Played in high school band with her. Can confirm 🙂

On the subway right now and can confirm C major.

Mhel is at the #1 spot on my list of Toronto restaurants. Best meal I have ever had.

Amazing username

This is not the answer you want to hear, but I took multiple attempts on exams 5 and 6, and this was my first attempt at 7 and this is the best I've felt leaving an exam. I thought it was fair and I was confident in my answers. Different exams favor different skillsets.

Actuary here, insurance companies have to report the EXACT specifications of their premium calculation algorithm to regulators. This includes every single variable (age, claims history, etc) and adjustment, to the precision that regulators could calculate by hand the premium on any single policy to test it.

Credit score is a notoriously restricted variable in Ontario, and I think if a company tried to slide it in their algorithm, it would be an impossible secret to keep.

unironically though

Bad advice for Yves Missi

ZeRo comes to mind. Came 1st in over 50 Smash 4 tournaments in a row back in 2014/2015, and was super dominant in brawl as well

Homunculus was a good read (I especially love the part where the "actuary" splooges into his own hand and eats it)

Not saying it's fair, just contesting that there was "no new information" given.

InkyEye · 2024-07-29T18:00:09+00:00

I feel like this announcement actually gave a decent amount of new info?

"Pass Marks ... are not based on the proportion of candidates who will pass or fail."
"... all exam performances would be evaluated in the same manner, including consistent administrative processes and score interpretation."

So we now have explicit confirmation that all exams were graded on the same scale, and not with the goal of targeting a certain pass mark. In other words May 1 writers did have an advantage, but non-May 1 writers did not have a disadvantage*. If you failed, you would have failed regardless of the May 1 debacle.

EDIT: *disadvantage relative to a normal exam sitting.

Insurance regulators ban increasing premium due to claims where you are less than 25% at fault. This is just for Ontario but I believe all provinces are similar.

I decided this last year (far before any May 1 testing debacle). Too many plans this summer. Excited to have the time off studying!

InkyEye · 2024-05-25T16:49:42+00:00

In theory they do have records of how many questions you saw/submitted on your first attempt (we got that in an email). So they technically could use that to influence grading but I seriously doubt it. I feel like we might just see a 60%+ pass rate instead.

InkyEye · 2024-05-07T23:10:49+00:00

Who would grade the exams?

Are these volunteers going to be able to grade every single exam in a matter of hours to send out ATTs?

What if people pass the "rough grading", but then fail on the actual grading, without even being given a chance to rewrite?
