Part 4 - Calculus

Welcome to the actuarial quiz for prospective students of Actuarial Science and Risk Management at Queen's, the following quiz should give you an idea of the level of mathematics required for the Actuarial Science and Risk Management degree. Don't worry if some of the questions are slightly beyond you at this stage but you should feel confident that the types of question being asked are within your capabilities after some hard study. There is no time limit for the test but you will need some paper and a calculator to hand when attempting the questions. Good luck!
