    Just had a look throught Section 7 of the Q&A bank. Both exam style questions are about valuing an insurance company for sale. Just wondering do Acted tutors know something we don't :D

    Or is it just that both are totally valid SA3 exam questions and the topic hasn't been seen on a 403/SA3 exam for a while? :rolleyes:

    I wish they did. If you compare the study material and the Q&As with the exam papers you will see that they fail to touch sufficiently the most repetitive topic that appears in the exams. Calculation questions which involve consideration of exposure.

    I wish we did too!! Sadly, we have no greater idea of what's coming up than you do.

    You're quite right about exposure calcs being examined a lot recently. This is something I cover more in the SA3 tutorials as a result (although it's really only ST3 knowledge). To be fair, though, it's only usually a small part of any larger question. When we're writing next year's course material, it's certainly something we'll look at.
