May 2012 C Study Progress Thread

[ker8]

i've done so many problems in the past two weeks that my hand is killing me in 3 different spots....i need to find some kind of cushiony glove or something & then convince prometric that i can't take it off (tell them it's sprained?) b/c otherwise I am starting to doubt i'll even be able to write during the test, lol.

This has taught me that I wish I knew how to hold a pencil correctly.

i just realized the SOA problem set doesn't have any questions on VaR or TVaR.....

yea i need to memorize the formulas for TVaR for lognormal and normal just in case they come up... well lognormal I can do from the tables but it's tedious

Isn't VaR just the same thing as the percentile?

[sarahl1286]

yes. and tvar is just the expected value above the percentile

[ker8]

Ah, I guess I was just looking for the words.

Had to take a break from studying, my arm is cramping up bad and hand is very sore. Just going over eqns now. I know most of them, just have to commit a few to memory like the nonparametric Bayes.

Good luck to everyone.

Kind of jealous of everyone who's already done.

Good thing there's no passing candidate quotas.
