The Nov 2016 exam paper has now been published on the IFoA website.
The description of the CA3 exam on the IFoA website says:
CA3 Communications is an online exam which examines how to prepare and communicate actuarial content to both an actuarial and a non-actuarial audience.

Day 1 - you sit the written paper in the morning (10.00-11.45 UK time). This involves the creation of a written document, such as a letter or memo, conveying an actuarial topic to a non-actuarial audience
Complaints:
1. I believe the topic for Q1 for the November exam - Coffee sales proposals - failed to meet the criteria of being an actuarial topic.
2. Graph was requested. This seriously eats into time - very unfair! This is meant to be a written assessment. No acted preparation for any of this.
3. Asking people to comment on marketing proposals, then at the end of the question ask us to suspend business reality by ignoring reselling value is just ridiculous in this ebay age.
We're still waiting for the minutes from the student consultative forum. It will be interesting to see how many of these complaints were discussed there.
Q2 - I have no complaints. It was about a new life insurance product.
