I added a footnote to the Battle Table about the gap in the commission structure for Contract 1, although as @Staff - AC mentioned, it doesn't affect the answer to the question.

Fixed, thx! (And yes, you can notify us about typos here.) * https://battleacts6us.ca/wiki6us/Odomirok.8-9-IS#Statutory_Income_.282018.Spring_.2310a.29

This typo had already been noted in footnote 1 to the Battle Table for the Klann reading on reinsurance commutations: Here is a direct link to the Battle Table: * https://battleacts6us.ca/wiki6us/Klann.ReinsComm#BattleTable

Yes, I see what you mean. There were indeed 2 separate questions that dealt with Schedule P, Parts 2,3,4 and were very similar: * 2018-Spring Q12 * 2018-Fall Q12 The sample solution was based on 2018-Spring Q12 but, as you noted, the Battl…

Ok, here's what's going on in general: * The CAS sometimes removes readings from the syllabus and replaces them with newer, sometimes similar, readings. Even if the new reading covers similar ground, the details may differ enough that old exam …

Yes, I can see how that can be confusing. The 2018-Fall question was from an earlier version of the flood reading by Horn which is why it's marked as outdated. That older reading was materially different from the newer flood reading by Horn so I fel…

Here are concise answers to parts (b) and (c) that I hope are clearer than the examiners' report (which is outdated for SAP in part (c)): Part (b) (not outdated) Impact on insurer's income statement under GAAP: * Acquiring Insurer A (negativ…

Take a look at this discussion thread to see if this clears things up. Start from the bottom: * https://battleacts6us.ca/vanillaforum6us/discussion/573/f-2019-b#latest

Funny! "SAP your RBC".

Apologies for the delay in responding. We are looking into this.

I made a note in the wiki and linked to this thread from there: * https://battleacts6us.ca/wiki6us/Porter.12-Insolvency#Levels_of_Regulatory_Action

Sorry, that was a typo in the database. It should appear now. Thanks for letting me know.
-
I have corrected it. Thanks!

I've added a footnote to the Battle Table about that. (Footnote 6) * https://battleacts6us.ca/wiki6us/NAIC.IRIS#BattleTable

Fixed, thx!

Go for the gold, @mshockley!

There's a PDF here that has more details. Click this link... * https://battleacts6us.ca/wiki6us/Odomirok.15-P#Our_Third_Calculation_.28back_to_Parts_2.2C3.29 Then click on the green link for Schedule P Practice once you're in the wiki. It l…

* Ambiguity in Wording: * The use of "Losses" on the BS Liability table instead of "Net Unpaid Loss" is indeed a source of ambiguity, and you’re not alone in finding it confusing. Unfortunately, such wording inconsistencies do appear on CAS exa…

Apologies for the delay in responding. Someone will respond to your question today (Jan 9, 2025). We are still getting back up to speed after the holidays.

Oh, ok. Javascript reads upper and lower case as if they are different. I fixed it for the IRIS ratios MC quiz and will use the modified code going forward. And when I have time, I'll go back and edit the existing MC quizzes accordingly. Thanks.

Did you click the submit button? See below:

Can you be more specific? I don't understand what you mean by not accepting responses. If you're using a Mac, then sometimes there are issues as the DOM (Document Object Model) is slightly different on the Mac.

The Porter text is available from the CAS library. You have to contact them to reserve it. You can also purchase it but it's expensive. When I bought mine a few years ago, it was $180. (I honestly don't think there's much value in having it.) …

You're welcome! Happy New Year!

I assume you're referring to the BattleCard answer where I used the abbreviation "ex". This means "example". So your first interpretation is correct: * The AOS is confidential, and it aligns with its purpose because users (e.g., management) wou…

There isn't such a list unfortunately. Theoretically, you could go through the COPLFR text and create such a list but I don't think that would be the best way to prepare for a question similar to Q24 that you referenced. A better general way of p…

You're welcome. Slay the beast this week! (Or next week, depending on your exam date!)

I like that. My first thought when I read "PDDDING" was pudding. The extra "D" means it's extra Delicious.
-
That's a good point about removing the reference to the material being "boring". (It was late at night when I wrote that and so there was no filter on my thoughts.) I suppose anything can be interesting if you find the right way to look at it. …

Your answer is technically correct but I think it would be safer to explicitly mention "1 year reserve development to prior year surplus" in your answer to make sure the graders see that you know what IRIS 11 represents. You don't want to leave any …
