I just took my second Capstone exam for Exam Fam on Coaching Actuaries. My actual exam is in less than 2 weeks so I was hoping to score well. I completely bombed it, I got a 18/34 and so many of the questions had a bunch of twists and turns that made the problem take so much time. I did this yesterday after work and was somewhat defeated. I woke up early today to take a practice exam from only SOA questions (I had seen a few before but didn't remember the answers) and got a 28/34 on level 6 difficulty. Has anyone else had this issue and passed? Why are the Capstone exams so difficult if that is the case?
