So someone had the bright idea of reinventing the actuarial exam system for 2005 onwards. Were they like:
" Ok, we need to improve on this 100, 200, 300 series system.
Let's do exactly the same exams for the 100 series except mix it up a little and call them CT's. Everyone loves rebranding. Who remembers Marathon bars? "
Then they went on to say:
" Hmmm, what about the 300 series exams? I know, how about rather than the 300 series, we just have the 300 exam? Of course we need to give it a new name, how about 'The Big Daddy' ? Too exciting? Ok we'll call it CA1 instead. This way we cut the number of exams taken to qualify and everyone's happy! That's right, students do exactly the same amount of work, but rather than test them in 3 different managable exams, we just make them do it all in one - just think of all the money we're going to make in resits! I just know this will be well received."
Then they said:
" But we don't want to seem to be unkind. Lets tell people who currently have a 300 exam they only have to do half of CA1. But this is the real genius part of it. We also tell them that they can be tested on the other half in the other half of the exam! Get it? No, neither do I but I think it could be a real money spinner. Am I good or what? "
