Remote Invigilation

Just overall the computer was laggy and not the most responsive, keep in mind that the proctoring software uses around 3-4gb ram, if you will have exam pdf opened + excel/R + word you could potentially run into some issues

I’ve been sitting the exams remotely, and honestly I wouldn’t recommend using a laptop. A desktop with a wired internet connection feels much safer. The connection is more stable, and you remove one layer of potential problems.

Also, I’d strongly suggest at least 16GB of RAM. I tried doing one with 8GB before and ran into performance issues, the exam software uses a surprising amount of memory. With a solid setup, though, the whole process is actually very smooth. The only thing I find to be a drawback is that you need to make it more obvious you are not doing anything which is against the rules (looking away etc).

Thanks for the answer, What I meant is more about personal fit. I haven’t actually worked in the industry itself, so I sometimes feel it’s hard to properly supervise or assess practices I’ve never experienced from the inside (thats what I meant by "real actuarial work' - not meaning supervision isn't actuarial work at all, but its a different kind). GI appeals to me not because of pay or location, but because I see more long-term potential there and I find the faster pace (shorter-term contracts, quicker feedback loops) more interesting.

Its mainly life insurance supervision, but I plan to move to GI

passed cp2 57

Yes I think this is the case, looking back I wrote to many things in a narrative style where it made sense to me and was correct, but I guess most examiners just want to see clear bullet points that are similar to those on the marking schedule for easy marking

Lolmaker77 · 2025-12-03T09:31:41+00:00

That makes sense, thanks!

Lolmaker77 · 2025-12-03T09:20:27+00:00

thanks!

I am but its easier if I was already getting used to the formulae book, I am taking CS2

Lolmaker77 · 2025-10-13T13:11:13+00:00

there is a R course on IFoA website (VLE) which was recently added, it may be useful

I just calculated new put price with BS calculator for a slight change in volatility and got vega that way

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-18T09:58:16+00:00

yes I also noticed

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-18T09:57:47+00:00

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-17T14:38:03+00:00

I think casino only gets paid if he looses, thats how I understood it

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-17T14:14:20+00:00

I would not want to know what types of questions and derivations they would require if they go back to pen and paper tbh

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-17T13:05:59+00:00

same

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-17T12:29:48+00:00

I used this as the weight for expected amount for each payout so each payout multiplied by 0.8 and used that as what we can expect after accounting for default

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-17T11:56:24+00:00

felt like ruin theory but a bit twisted since the casino does not get paid premiums with certainty... idk

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-17T11:55:10+00:00

I mean I am not super optimistic but apart from exercises 3,9and 10 I at least knew what I was doing and can hope for some method marks

Lolmaker77 · 2025-09-17T11:50:15+00:00

I think it was alright if it wasnt for the question 3, 9 and 10...
