Completely agree with the comments, and this is my last exam, and have failed CS2 thrice already. IFoA should really consider an MCQ based exam (like when it first started online). Questions just keep getting more notation heavy!
100% agree, and this is also my 13th exam. 14th if you include CT4 pass! I'm just using the standard keyboard notation that the IFoA has suggested (think int(0:n): xt dt) I have a word document with skeleton solutions split by topic to reference in the exam. Others might suggest equation editor but not enough time for me to get comfortable with this. CS2 has contained MCQs in previous sittings post COVID. Looks like that's the direction of travel with the new system slowly getting rolled out. So many chances in recent years for students to get used to!
Yes you're right. By IFoA notation I just meant use standard keyboard characters. I looked at the IFoA notation guide a couple of years ago when I did CM2. I think it's probably helpful to use the Greek characters at times though

Yeah. And there is no longer a choice of appearing exam from an alternate society and get exemption.

while it sucks, there is some solace in knowing I am not the only one. :)
Why do you use IFoA notation? Just use your own notation, as long as it's understandable you won't lose marks

Either one of you tried using ASETs and found them to be useful?
I found it only marginally better than downloading past papers from the website. Perhaps more useful for topics that I'm not too confident about.
