    Hello,

    I'm wondering how common are the proofs for constructing an upper bound and a lower bound for the adjustment coefficient in the CT6 exam.

    They aren't particularly long or difficult but require us to remember a few steps so I'm wondering if I should skip for now and come back to them if I get time.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance.

    They have been asked a couple of times in the last ten years. However, they haven't been asked by the current chief examiner who seems to love testing proofs...

    I see.. thank you. I know there are always things that we don't expect in the exam, but just for the sake of understanding the current chief examiner's style of setting questions - how long has he/she been chief examiner for? Is there one chief examiner for all the CT subjects? or one chief examiner for each?

    There is a different examiner for each subject. The current CT6 examiner wrote the last 3 papers.
