SOA 289 - Deleted Qs???

[Hsker]

I assume the deleted questions on the SOA 289 are gone because these questions were published several years ago, and there have been several changes to the syllabus. Can someone confirm this?

Also, if this is the case, I assume ALL questions on the SOA 289 are fair game for this Exam C?

Finally, are there specific topics that have been added since the 289 was published, resulting in the 289 not covering certain material to the extent that it should?

Thanks for any help!

yes, the deleted questions were due to syllabus changes.

I think there are still 5 - 10 questions in the SOA289 that have not been deleted but should be. I can recall a few Cox models that I skipped over. I don't have the questions with me so I can't tell you which ones I thought were no longer relevant.

I think non-normal CI's were added with this last syllabus change but I don't recall seeing any of those on the SOA289. I'm not sure if there are any VAR, TVaR type questions on the SOA or not.
