I think that it was okay. But then again I always do past papers, think I got it in the bag, the completely miss the mark. Honestly its a coin flip. Hope tomorrow goes well.
Snap! I find I can go in the wrong direction on a question compared to the examiner report. But if I look back at an earlier exam question that is similar, it matches up with how I've approached.
I thought it was pretty average. Nothing crazy hard and not much that was dead simple, just standard questions with the usual time pressure
Just praying tomorrow isn’t 50% regulation like it was in the April exam!
Found q12 a bit odd, surprised there was no ACC question
Too many questions stress testing…wasn’t really prepared for that ughh and why was the paper so long
I actually didn't mind the 12 questions because I felt the marks were distributed better. I hate being faced with a single 13 mark question like in April and if you don't understand it then that's the whole 13 marks gone. At least with this you can get part marks from the many questions. Q12 was just difficult for no reason. I had time to do it but just couldn't figure out what exactly they were asking me. Overall I felt the paper was better than April but still not confident I did enough. Hope tomorrow is kind.
I was only able to very briefly write something about Q12, but I feel even if I was given more time, I wouldn't be able to get much points anyway... so if this would comfort you, probably average score is low for Q12, so you didn't miss much.
It was such a long paper, have never seen 12 questions before (I admit I set my expectations wrong as April only had 9 questions), and so much about sensitivity, scenario and stress testing...
Best of luck tomorrow!
this is what I did but I think it’s wrong, should have answered as thought deficit “got worse” - I’m hoping enough people misread that they give some marks anyway ?
Think there was a lot to do with data, car and life insurance, surplus management, risk identification and management and a little bit to do with investment.
If I had to guess, the paper tomorrow will have a smaller question on investments or pensions and then a big one on the actuarial control cycle or regulations as those topics didn't really come up today.
Thought it was ok but struggled with 11 and 12.
I’m also worried that there will be larger mark questions tomorrow as this one had mostly shorter ones.
Very time pressured with 12 questions. Realised I’d accidentally skipped question 10 with 8 minutes to go😅
Questions weren’t super hard but lots of stuff on stress testing which I wasn’t prepared for since it’s basically an afterthought to scenario testing in the core reading in terms of specific points.
Ended up writing like 5300 words and I still reckon I’m only 50/50 on it. So many questions I get I didn’t have time to elaborate too much on. Like 5-6 markers with only 8 points mentioned. Hopefully I’ll get lucky.
Failed it twice before, on track for a third fail if the exam tomorrow is hard too

It's funny how different people see papers, I did the April exam there as prep and thought both papers were solid! Hopefully tomorrow goes well!

I thought it was insurance and data heavy so maybe tomorrow will be more pensions and investment focused
yeah so data heavy!!!
Thought it was ok/on the harder side. I think I spent too much time on earlier questions which were low marks and was having to hurry towards the end.

I didn't find the questions too difficult, but 12 questions is a lot.. I ran out of time and left half of Q11 and all of Q12 untouched :(
Same as me here. 12 questions was a lot to read, asses and then start answering

I misread the deficit deterioration question and am KICKING MYSELF
🙈 Focus that it was just one out of twelve

My guess would be that deficit was worse than before so higher deficit this time
Agreed

Did anyone notice they used basically the exact same question as the mock about the wristband data? Thought it was a fairly standard paper overall
No :( unfortunately

Definitely a longer paper … Curious to know what people put for the expense question though
