@piyushm807 attempted less only....dont remember...time shortage tha thats y...and anova test was lengthy...when r the results coming out??
@cj1093 : my paper was not very good. I could do the doable stuff I guess. I couldnt have time for the last two questions. Just attempted 4 marks out of the total 38 marks that were for those two questions. Overall I attempted 65. I am not writing any other papers due to work load. How about you are you writing any other papers. Any idea about uk actuaries, fees etc?
hmmmm....uk actuaries and fees i got no idea...but one thing is that the exams conducted by uk actuaries r not thAT tough and r compartively much easier than indian exams...and i feel the study material provdied to us in not sufficient to get through the exam...
@cj1093 - i think the material is sufficient. its just that the questions are always new and need application rather than spewing out formulas. I attempted 73. Lets hope for the best
Btw i am rejecting the null and there is a difference in rate of application ;)
@Blu_Dragon - Dude i hadnt tried that one....maybe not tough but it was lenghty for sure and i even got the anova problem part 2 wrong.... :(
results come out by 21st jan i think...can somebody confirm ?
@piyushm807 - Nope, attempted 73 only....hoping for the best. sorry, ws talking bout the uniform distribution question..
@karan_01yup same here...i rejected the null hypotheses...wookay...hmmm.. the uniform distribution was a question from previous years question papers...the 15 mark question...anyone did it??? and wht abt the 3rd question ...??? the revised mean and std deviation....as far i remember the revised mean is the same and std deviation changes to around 6k or something...anyone ??
@cj1093 : the 15 mark question was directly from text book i think, Chapter 10 on Sampling distributions , where they have explained why cant we use CRLB value in uniform distribution. The biased estimators and MSE derivations are given there subsequently.
@karan_01 : For the revised mean and std deviation question: mean remains same and std deviation comes to 6k or something.
@cj1093 : sorry.. it is given in Chapter 10 on point estimation (MLEs) and not sampling distributions which is chapter 9.
@cj1093 said:@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....???
didn't attempt the anova one. i had not practised that chapter. Also had no time in the end.
Was the first question easy?
hi..is any one aware of a good correspondence pg course in actuarial science.........i m from Bangalore and an engineer
@Blu_Dragon : Any idea about how have the general passing mark trends been for past few years for CT3 course?
why dont want to take up a correspondence course in AS ?
Hey, I have passed my 12th Exams. I have a break in education due to some health issues. I am interested in Actuarial science exams. I have more than 85% in Maths XIIth Science stream.
To appear for IAI exams, I need to clear the ACET test right? When is the ACET test scheduled in 2013? Also is there any other eligibility needed to appear for the exams?
Thanks
@Blu_Dragon hi..u seem to have taken the licenciate as well...is it mandatory? i mean do u need to complete till fellowship along with the actuary papers?

no bro I had not take licentiate. I work in SBI Life and lot of my friends had taken it. I have plans for it in the future as company pays a hefty amount on passing it. But right now i am focussing on actuary only. III and Actuary don't have any such connections. If you are an actuary then III will be insignificant.
