Paper 2 will primarily test the Application and Higher Order skills. The approximate split of assessment for paper 2 across the three skill types is 10% Knowledge, 45% Application and 45% Higher Order skills.
Each paper will be marked out of 100 and the scores for the two papers will be aggregated.
There will be no requirement to pass or to reach a minimum standard on either paper on a stand-alone basis. In the examination questions may be set on any area of work in which actuaries participate, including wider fields such as banking, environmental issues, management of natural resources, and other topics. Questions will not require technical knowledge of the subject context beyond the material covered in this and the Actuarial Statistics, Actuarial Management and Business subjects, but a general understanding of the business, commercial, social and natural environment will be assumed.
