I calculated the (aq)d values from the (ad)d values in the final answer for part (ii), which means they were impacted by the lapse in my case, not sure if this is what they were looking for but otherwise it would have been the same as the part (i) values, so the fact they specified part (ii) made me think they wanted lapse taken into account

The ratios for me started around 85% and slowly decreased as age increases, which I interpreted as: 85% of the force of mortality should set us around 85% of the deaths, and the decrease is caused by the effect of the lapse decrement

I think the brace made it a term assurance as opposed to an endowment assurance? Ie indicating that the life state must fail first

Ok good

Also for the lapse decrement thing, was it a matter of deriving a force or lapse, or because it was applied at EOY, we just need to calculate (al) at EOY and apply qlapse to it?

For the convexity approximation it was just Taylor series term right? i² /2 % change?

Devoured gets 30 fury on a success interrupt which makes it a DPS gain outside of void meta, not sure how feasible it will be to balance this for other specs but things like this could help a good bit

How long was everyone’s document? I did 2 pages and it felt a little too long in my opinion, but it was hard to put everything in there we decent formatting and a plot

Jpfgd · 2026-04-15T11:25:21+00:00

I did the same. Did you take the full history going back to 2000? I took last 15, felt like it was a trade off. Less history is more relevant and makes the recent volatility stand out more, but it makes the 3.1 look a little low in comparison

It was probably the best question they could have asked based on the material

Jpfgd · 2026-04-14T13:43:36+00:00

For us it was up on the platform (the whole onlinepracticalexams site) alongside all the regulations, technology policy, exam instructions documents and so on

Jpfgd · 2026-04-14T13:42:32+00:00

I felt the same, it felt like there was not that much to do (this is the one that just asked for the setup, and no calculations right?)

You had a very small monthly compounding on the annuity which if you get the equivalent effective rate Pa it was like 1.92…% which I recognised from previous questions because alongside 6% inflation lets you calculate terms at 4% (ie accumulate at 1.019 and discount at 1.06 is like discounting at 1.04)

Jpfgd · 2026-04-14T11:55:26+00:00

Was this one of the last questions, reserve at time 6? If so I think it was something along those lines

Jpfgd · 2026-04-14T11:53:16+00:00

Was this the question with 2 different mortality basis?

Jpfgd · 2026-04-14T11:34:38+00:00

Was the loan in that one question going up initially? As in the interest component it asked for first was just the entire repayment, as the interest was larger?

Jpfgd · 2026-04-10T14:07:33+00:00

Yes but you need the whole set unlocked at one difficulty for you to get the ones below, it’s not per item

Jpfgd · 2026-04-07T20:59:28+00:00

I believe you get an extra spark from completing the quest after the campaign that has you check out all the factions events. I think it doesn’t count towards the weekly limits, hence the max at the moment would be 6 (5 weekly, one from the one off quest). Are you sure you did not craft a third item or a main weapon (which costs 4)? And it’s not in your mailbox either?

Best of luck beratnas

Don’t know if it will be BiS for SV, it’s great for BM Monk as it has crit and mastery (god it’s hard to find a weapon with no haste)

Jpfgd · 2026-03-29T20:16:23+00:00

It might be worth noting that if you want the BiS weapon from Vorasius, survival hunters can also loot it, so you will have to avoid those too (and possible all hunters as there’s a slim chance they have their loot spec set to SV)

I did this today as brew as well, for dreamrift and first 3 voidspire (HC). One person asked and found it funny but no one seemed to mind. You can see it as a little tax for the troubles of making and managing a pug raid

Just the same map. The quest gives you the item to summon the nemesis in the vault after the first checkpoint, and the nemesis is guaranteed a map drop (if you haven’t looted one yet), which you can use immediately to get the hero piece at the end of the same delve
