BattleActs Practice Exams (2023-Fall)

Useful Information:

  • The CAS posted a NEW Excel file with sample IFRS 17 questions on the Exam 6-Canada page. This is not listed as being part of the required readings but it looks like something you should definitely look at. You can download it from this page: (You have to scroll down to find it.)
→ CAS Exam 6-Canada    ← This leads you to the original CAS version
Or click below to download the BattleActs version, which has additional BA commentary to help you better understand the solutions:


→ CAS IFRS 17 Sample Questions WITH ADDITIONAL BATTLEACTS COMMENTARY


(Last Updated: 2025-03-02)

Notes:

  • If you find any issues in the NEW practice exam for 2025-Fall, please post here: Forum
  • If you find any typos or errors, please post to the PRACTICE EXAM category of the forum here: Forum
  • For the IFRS 17 Bonus Question, you will need to refer to the source text for the CIA.IFRS17-LRC wiki article.
  • We no longer publish Excel versions of past CAS exams because the majority of calculation problems from past exams are out-of-date. (And there is no advantage in having the short-answer questions in Excel format.)
