Graduation tests and experiments

Abstract

Little space in the Journal has been devoted in the past specifically to graduation tests, and nowhere have the tests generally applied been concisely set out and fully discussed. The only papers during the last forty years on the subject have been by Seal and Daw; both these papers were submitted and discussed during the war years, with the result that many actuaries were unable to be present and state their views; indeed, many of us did not even know of them until the numbers of the Journal in question were published, and an opportunity to study them did not arise until after the war.
