I answered 22 of them...it took me two times through to get some of the problems and even then on a few I felt a little uncertain because every answer you get is there because almost every question had ranges for answers

Default First Attempt

It was my first attempt but coming from failing MLC I didn't think the Life Con was too bad, but worse than I expected from CAS.

Not as bad as it could've been. I didn't count them, but it felt like a whole lot of Stats+Poisson+Markov..maybe 15 combined?

+1, I HATE ranged answers. It's so easy to make a mistake and never realize anything is wrong.

There was more Poisson and Markov on the test than I expected...that question on the waiting time for buses...waiting time is memoryless right so the answer was 0? I kept fighting back and forth on that one

Expected waiting time was 10 mins. My answer ended up to be 6 minute difference.

I got answers for 23/25. Thought the Life-Con material was a little light.
