    Does someone have a list of past exam questions related to pandemics? Given the topical nature of this, it might be a good area to practice and review. Thanks.

    Thanks Anna - did check that out; however, not sure it covers the breadth of the aspects from a risk perspective in the current context.

    Don't the IFoA set exam papers further in advance? I was thinking pandemics would almost be a little too topical. Political chaos and the climate crisis may be in the right timeframe?

    Yes, you're absolutely right Markimedes, your exam will have been set Sep/Oct last year and then tweaked more recently to make sure it's suitable for an online exam.

    I agree with you re climate change. Subject CP1 April 2020 Paper 2 is a good one to look at for that. There was also an ST9 question on the depletion of natural resources (ST9 April 2015, Q2).

    I guess Brexit is always a possibility too, I'm not aware of any past exam questions along the lines of, "A developed country is considering leaving a large customs union ...". A few links below covering the impact of a no deal Brexit.
