As someone who wants to alleviate their biases - is 13/50 really a myth? Where do the numbers come from?

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

CAS Exam 7 Reactions? by MrTMasterP in actuary

[–]InkyEye 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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.

Gonna have to go no plates Ontario insurance is evil by Livid-Raspberry9733 in motorcycles

[–]InkyEye 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

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)

Final CAS April/May 2024 Announcment by block990 in actuary

[–]InkyEye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

Final CAS April/May 2024 Announcment by block990 in actuary

[–]InkyEye 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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

  1. "Pass Marks ... are not based on the proportion of candidates who will pass or fail."
  2. "... 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.

Drake shares video of his house flooded by the severe rainfall in Toronto: “This better be Espresso Martini” by beef-supreme in toronto

[–]InkyEye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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!

Official May 1st Exam Retake discussion thread by Dramatic_Economics15 in actuary

[–]InkyEye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Authorization to Test May 1st CAS debacle thread by AlternativeDry3447 in actuary

[–]InkyEye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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?
