Default VA for President
So VA is answering Every question for 5a, EVEN THOUGH HE ISN't TAKING THE EXAM!! Is this unprecedented in AO History? How is he able to do this. Do you plan on doing this when you are FCAS?

BTW, my official stance on the OP's proposition is

VOTE FOR NONE OF THE ABOVE!


(That is, option e. )

As an official member of Team Canada, VA would not be eligible for President. However, like Ignatieff, there are scenarios where he could be Prime Minister.

Canada needs you, VA! Really, we do.

Thanks VA for answering several of my questions, all of which were 5A specific, when you were taking 5B only.

The dude studied for the old exam 5 three times and old exam 6 three times and he's a rockstar. By the time he takes his final actuarial exam, I wouldn't be surprised the study manual he uses is written by one of you guys taking 5A right now.
