    In the Examiners report under Calculation we are given marks for:
    • Calculation of cumulative probabilities of survival under base scenario for age 65. [2]
    • Calculation of expectations of life under base scenario at age 65. [1]
    • Extension of base scenario to 75 years of age. [1]
    • Calculation of the annuity-due factors. [2]
    However, all those calcs for Base scenario were already in the model! We are not asked to do anything on Base scenario. So there are 6 marks for ... what? o_O

    Those marks are for describing in the summary how those steps are done. The marks for the extra calculations you need to do in the spreadsheet are in Q3 - Techniques - Additional Scenario.
