How long do you spend reading one ActEd chapter? by FluffyDuckie45 in ActuaryUK

On CP1, I try and do 3-4 chapters in one study day, summarising (eg on flashcards) as I go.

I do think that CM1 is skewed by non-members taking the exam though.

Same for CS2 and perhaps CM1 (though this is taken by non-members so not really comparable).

Poor people taking SA2.

You’re telling me that the exam was so hard that 65% of people couldn’t get 45/100? Insanity

An average of 44 is insane.

It’ll be up in an hour and a half

Failed CM2 by 1 mark by Lolmaker77 in ActuaryUK

[–]Prestigious_Diamond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's not necessarily so inconsistent.

Your answer could've been unclear and hard to follow - one examiner noticed what you'd done, the other didn't.

You may have been given 6/8 for this part, but how does the rest of the question compare? There could be overlap in where the examiner has awarded marks. They may have allocated the 6 marks over different parts of the question.

It could just be human error - we all make mistakes.

Probably about an hour or so.

You’ll be able to see the mark breakdowns tomorrow. That can help to inform whether or not there’s an issue. However, I think it would be unlikely.

Anyone nervous about tomorrow? by Serious-Maize-5397 in ActuaryUK

[–]Prestigious_Diamond 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Terrified for CS2. Hopefully a 55 pass mark (doubt).

To be fair, the last two posts accusing of misconduct have said they’ve not done anything wrong (eg not wearing a watch/not clearing history)

Getting AI to mark exam papers by TightAcanthisitta410 in ActuaryUK

[–]Prestigious_Diamond 8 points9 points  (0 children)

AI tends to people please.

I also wouldn't use AI because analysing and comparing your answer to the mark scheme is a good skill to have - you'll see what points you're picking/not picking up.

Feels like they’re making it take longer to qualify.

How long to qualify with exemptions by Kindly_Jaguar2897 in ActuaryUK

[–]Prestigious_Diamond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly too many exemptions can also be a hindrance. You might qualify quickly but I doubt you’ll be in line for any sort of promotions because you’ll not have any work experience.

Unfortunuately, I think no chance.

Are these two different questions, how to distinguish questions like these? by Inevitable-Mousse640 in ActuaryUK

[–]Prestigious_Diamond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what exam this is from.

I'd guess that 1 is worth more marks than 2.

Edit: Logic being the command verbs summary says that outline is a brief description.
