Default calculation and wording questions

For people who has taken CSP - ILA Canada in May last year,

what were the percentages of calculation and wording questions respectively?

For calculation questions, were most of them related valuation? like ask you how to calculate reserves for different products.

I added up the points for the US exam a while back, and it was about 1/3 calc, 2/3 non-calc.

That's interesting, I counted up the US a while back and I calculated about 45% calculation and 55% essay, and I was conservative in my estimation of how much was calculation based (morning session didn't break out points between part a, b, c, etc). I would have thought the two exams would line up a bit more.

Or maybe I can't count. I did it again and got about the same split as you.
