75 multiple choice questions in two hours?

[givemeapass]

When I took part 3 and 4, that's 35-40 questions in four hours. So does 75 in 2 hours mean the questions are much easier than those for part 3 and 4? They are more computational or more essay?

easier.

You'll have a lot more questions where the idea is whether or not you quickly recognize the "correct" answer.

You basically have 35 seconds per problem (on average) to read and recognize.

There are likely going to be several where you'll only need 15 seconds; and a few that'll take 60 because of a few computations (nothing like either Exam 4/C or MLC).

One hopes that simple arithmetic isn't one of the topics.

OOPS! 1.6 min per problem . . .

Are C2 multiple choice questions at the same difficulty level of Part 5 and Part 6 multiple choices? (CAS used to offer multiple choice questions in part 5 and part 6 several years ago)

haha, CAS exams are easier than SOA exams

[Vorian Atreides]

Blasphemer! :swear:

I took Course 1 a couple weeks ago, and I finished super early. I don't think you have to worry about not having enough time. Most questions you are able to recognize the correct answer very quickly. I'm taking C2 on June 13th...

I finished in an hour. I seriously doubt time will be an issue unless someone is simply not prepared at all.

I beg to differ. :)

Yep, same here, I finished in 57 minutes and I really took my time to make sure I was reading all the questions and answer choices carefully. You either know it right away or you just make your best guess and move on.

Since in this case, its true what the previous posters said. You either know it or you don't.

I finished in 1 hr. Then spent 20 mins going through all questions a second time.

Then submitted my test.

How much did you study in order to write the test this quickly? Did you find the problems significantly more difficult that then end-of-section problems in the module (i.e. where they ask you three or four multiple-choice questions)?
