SA3 Sep 18

So much harder than the past papers over the last couple of years... Surely they've got to have generous marking (even scaling) and a pass mark of 55?

 

Yh was a tough paper but they won’t do anything

 

I feel like the knowledge from the syllabus did not help me a lot .
Hard to score 60+ for me .

For anyone interested:
Q1: ORSA (approx. 10 points)
Q2: Brexit (approx. 20 points)
Q3: Love Insurance (approx. 30 points)
Q4: UW cycle (approx. 40 points)

I still remember some parts of the exam, but my memory is fading quickly.

 

Question 1. ORSA, saw the disappointment in the faces of people in the hall! quite enjoyable actually - luckily for us its was only 12 marks. Q2 on Brexit was decent
Q3 on Love insurance was dumb and the reserving bit on it was too open and ambigiuos
Q4: the mark allocation was absurd

 

pass rate's been consistently around 40% for the last few years. seems like it's going to be a lot lower for this sitting purely because we happened to take a much more difficult exam which seems reallu unfair (doubt the pass mark will be lowered enough)

 

Hi all, although I'm sitting SA2 I just happened to come across this thread and a few topics from the Sept 2018 SA3 sitting mentioned by Uros above jumped out at me, i.e.: ORSA and Brexit. I had a quick look at this past SA3 exam and wow that ORSA question was HARD.
Does the SA3 core reading provide that much detail to be able to answer that ORSA quesion??
The SA2 one certainly doesn't and I would've very much struggled to gain a lot of marks on this question..
