Hi guys how was the CT3 paper? I felt it was tougher than previous years' papers.....:(

549

i was not able to figure out the normal distribution example, although it was given in the book, duh....but yeah the paper was long i guess and if you hadnt studied CT3 completely, than there' a problem


Overall CT3 Nov 2012 analysis - from my side

Areas covered - They left out conditional expectation only, rest all was covered)
Length - Too long
Average passing marks -- anybody' guess ??
550
@karan_01 : did you attempt all questions?
551
@karan_01 : are u talking about the 3 mark question on normal approximation waala question?

Dude I felt it was lot easier. Try solving may 2011 paper.
554
@Blu_Dragon : did u attempt all?
555
@piyushm807 he should be talking about that. answer was .76 something
556

ya 0.78611 as far as i can remember

557
@piyushm807 i remember .76...doesn't matter. We are both right
558
@piyushm807 It was impossible to attempt all in any year of actuary. I attempted 77
559
@Blu_Dragon : I could attempt 65
560
@piyushm807 that is good attempt. Don't you think so? also i think that is solid 67 for you.
561

the paper was lengthy,...i feel i did some silly mistakes...the anova problem was damn lengthy....and normal distribution answer is .78 something....and passing marks...god noes...its difficult to predict actually but i feel around 50-60 might b the passing....and there was not a single question in conditonal probabiltiy...lets c...i have written in the last question that model 3 is the best regression model...wht abt u guys...wht is ur answer...????? any idea when the results might come out..???


m tensed and scared a lot...
562

and guys v should question number on the top of the paper right???

563
@Blu_Dragon : but i m not sure of all 65 marks
564
@Blu_Dragon : But I am not sure of all 65 marks
565
@cj1093 Now you are scaring me with .78. it is 3rd model as r^2 was max there. Don't worry too much. Papers were always lengthy. That is not new.
566
@cj1093 : yeah we were supposed to write the question on the top left corner in the space provided. by the way how many did u attempt?
567
@Blu_Dragon sorry for scaring u...lol..but as far i remember its somehwere around .78 approx...hmmm...even i wrote 3rd model...and wht abt the anova test....r u rejecting the null hypothesis or accepting it....???
