This 1st article of the series by Shreyash Naresh Maheshwari, outlines the exam techniques that must be implemented after receiving answer paper to maximize the probability of passing.  \nCP1: Actuarial practice  \nIn CP1 exams, only 20% to 25% is direct bookwork – the remaining is a mix of general knowledge & application of theory questions. Acted tutors say that the main reason for failing is students are unable to balance between question-specific points & regurgitation of bookwork theory. A general rule of thumb is that for every 1 mark, 2 unique points must be written clearly. So, time management is of utmost importance in CP1.  \nWhat to do when CP1 exam paper falls into your hands?  \n1 Spend 2-3 minutes glancing over the paper  \n2  \nWrite 200 unique ideas for 100 marks exam  \n3  \nEach idea/point must be thought about & written in less than a minute  \n4 Each idea must be 25 – 30 words maximum  \n5  \nBreak complex ideas into sub-parts but don’t overdo it  \n6  \nOnce you start writing a point, immediately start thinking of the next point  \n7  \nIf stuck on a question, keep space and move on  \n8  \nIf you love a question, write fast and move on  \n9  \nUse the last 5 minutes for checking & submission  \n10 Take ample rest and reduced screen time during exam week  \nTop sources for CP1 exam preparation  \n1. Past exam question papers & answers  \n2. Identify common themes like:  \n• Risks in project  \n• Contract design factors  \n• Analysis of surplus  \n• Why do claims increase or decrease  \n• Generally, why any variable of insurance contract varies  \nAbout the author(s)  \nShreyash Naresh Maheshwari  \nQuantitative Researcher  \nEmkay Global Financial Services Ltd.  \nShreyash has completed his Investment Actuary Qualification from IAI in 3.87 years at age of 21.88 with AIR 1 in CS2: Risk Modelling and Survival Analysis, SP6: Financial Derivatives, SP5: Investment and Finance & CP2: Actuarial Modelling.
