Default CAS study questions?

Since this exam was not jointly sponsored last year, were there any study questions released by the CAS from when this material was on CAS 3? I'm not sure if the CAS releases study questions for their exams. I guess I should look at the released CAS 3 exams from 2007 as well to see what made it onto the exams?

The material has changed quite a bit and I did not find ANY of the SOA released problems to be any help so I don't think the CAS problems would be much help either if any were released. (I don't know if any were, sorry)

CAS released 07 May & Nov exam questions, but it will be no help as they're ridiculously easy compared to SOA problems.

The 16 questions per exam were consecutive, so they'll be easy to find.

They asked very few questions on Brownian motion and interest rate models (none on the Fall exam), and every single one was flawed and almost all were thrown out. These topics constitute about 20% of the current exam.
