CT6 How was it for you?

[John Lee]

How did the September paper go?

Did you find the 7 marks on chapter 5 OK?

Was the inflation-adjusted Bornheutter-Ferguson a bit painful (or were you prepped by practising the very similar September 2001 question)?

Did the normal-normal posterior distribution ruin you?

Let me know!

How was it for you?

Found it strange the derivation part of the Normal-Normal question had so few points when it is so messy! I found the part taking more time than the rest of the question and I felt it was not necessary when you could just pick the combination of the two straight from the tables!

I saw a marker marking someone's CT6 paper the other day on the train into work...and that person seemed to get the question on showing the posterior distribtuion for normal-normal model wrong completely.

Don't know if this is signs of things to come.

Well perhaps I should cover this in tutorials or at least issue a blow-by-blow handout as the examiners seem to have a 'thing' with this derivative!

Recycled or what?

Hey that question 1 was exactly the same as the Subject C2 1997 question.

And the inflation-adjusted Bornheutter-Ferguson question was exactly the same as the September 2001 question.

Am I the only one to notice that?

I'm not complaining - means that doing more past papers really helped out!
