You have a model with a data layer, a top projection layer, and a sub layer. When the sub layer is called, what will be the portfolio date of that layer?
- A. The start date of the model
- B. The inception date of the first data record
- C. The start date of the projection process
- D. The step date of the top projection layer at which the sub layer is called
Answer : D

- A. Initialization modules
- B. Data view input variables
- C. Assumption input variables
- D. Projection processes
- E. Output variables
Answer : A,B,C
A colleague has finished editing Standard Code and has passed it to you for development.
You notice a padlock symbol next to some of the modules.
What does the padlock mean?
- A. This module has additional information attached to it.
- B. This module must not be used in development
- C. This module is key Standard Code and must be used
- D. This module is locked for editing
Answer : D

You built a model where the reserve is calculated on a sub reserving layer as shown in the exhibit. The realistic layer calls a variable Reserve_PP: from the reserving layer. When you run the model, Algo Financial Modeler presents you with the following generator error
Reserve_PP: ReservingLayer is not recognized
What is the problem?
- A. The Reserve_PP variable is not a portfolio variable.
- B. The formula for Reserve_PP in the realistic layer references Reserving Layer instead of Reserving_Layer.
- C. There is no variable called Reserve_PP in the reserving layer.
- D. Reserve_PP in the reserving layer is a step variable rather than a rollback variable.
Answer : B

Referring to the exhibit, what would cause a problem if the model was run?
- A. It contains a nested stochastic process.
- B. The data layer has more than one data process.
- C. The same projection process is used in both top layers.
- D. A model can only have one top projection layer.
Answer : D
What are two specific reasons why Standard Code has been developed? (Choose two.)
- A. To enable rapid implementation of programs and lead to models that are easier to understand
- B. To promote consistency between models and demonstrate appropriate use of the features within Algo Financial Modeler
- C. To provide the user with fully formed models that can be adapted to their specific products and reduce the need for actuarial involvement
- D. To minimize the amount of testing required when building a new model within Algo Financial Modeler and provide a guarantee of the accuracy of results
Answer : A,B
What are two principles upon which the Standard Code is based? (Choose two.)
- A. The code focuses on calculation efficiency over clarity.
- B. The code does not require any checking to ensure that it gives the correct results.
- C. Overtime, additional functionality will be included, building a growing library of content.
- D. The code is not designed to be used as a black box, but always to be modified to suit specific circumstances.
Answer : C,D

What are the run types? (Choose two.)
- A. Live
- B. Sample All
- C. Filtered Sample
- D. Group
Answer : B,C
What does the generator error shown below suggest?
CF_Variable_A: The extension start used with Variable_A is not valid in this context.
- A. Variable_A is portfolio and should be non-portfolio.
- B. Variable_A is non-portfolio and should be portfolio.
- C. Variable_A is portfolio and should be non-portfolio.
- D. Variable_A is non-portfolio and should be portfolio.
Answer : B
Which two would cause a runtime error? (Choose two.)
- A. A runtime error would occur if an assumption set was missing from the model.
- B. A runtime error would occur if there was a “divide by zero” in the code.
- C. A runtime error would occur if an input data file was missing.
- D. A runtime error would occur if there was no output report attached to the model.
Answer : B,C

- B. Perform a shallow clone of your job stream and remove the job box.
- C. Place a runcontrol.SERVICE_NAME.txt file in your$ALGO_TOP/dynamic/algobatch directory where job box is turned off by using arun control flag.
- D. Perform a deep clone of your job stream and remove the job box.
