Write your candidate number here   . Your name must not appear.  \n2. Do not break the seal ofthis book until the supervisor tells you to do so.  \n3. Special conditions generally applicable to all questions on this examination are found at the front of this book.  \n4. On this examination the symbol \"a\" will be used to represent an annuity. On this examination the symbol \" Ax \" will be used to represent the number of lives at age x.  \n5. This examination consists of 31 multiple-choice questions worth a total of 100 points. The point value for each question is shown in parentheses at the beginning of the question.  \n6. Your score will be based on the point values of questions that you answer correctly. No credit will be given for omitted answers and no credit will be lost for wrong answers; hence, you should answer all questions even those for which you have to guess.  \n7. A separate answer sheet is inside the front cover of this book. During the time allotted for this examination, record all your answers on side 2 of the answer sheet. NO ADDITIONAL TIME WILL BE ALLOWED FOR THIS PURPOSE. No credit will be given for anything indicated in the examination book but not transferred to the answer sheet. Failure to stop writing or coding your answer sheet after time is called will result in the disqualification of your answer sheet or further disciplinary action.  \n8.

For each question, blacken the oval on the answer sheet that corresponds to the key letter of the answer choice that you select.  \n9. Use a soft-lead pencil to mark the answer sheet. To facilitate correct mechanical scoring, be sure that, for each question, your pencil mark is dark and completely fills only the intended oval. Make no stray marks on the answer sheet. If you have to erase, do so completely.  \n10. Do not spend too much time on any one question. Ifa question seems too difficult, leave it and go on.  \n11. While every attempt is made to avoid defective questions, sometimes they do occur. If you believe a question is defective, the supervisor or proctor cannot give you any guidance beyond the instructions on the exam booklet.  \n12. Clearly indicated answer choices in the test book can be an aid in grading examinations in the unlikely event of a lost answer sheet.  \n13. Use the blank portions of each page foryour scratch work.
