✍️ Sample ARM Questions & Answers

1. A firm reports a one-day 95% Value at Risk (VaR) of $2 million. What does this mean?
✓ On 95% of days, losses should not exceed $2 million

VaR estimates the loss threshold that should not be exceeded at a given confidence level over a set horizon; it does not measure the worst case.

2. Which statement about risk according to ISO 31000 is correct?
✓ Risk is the effect of uncertainty on objectives and can be positive or negative

ISO 31000 defines risk as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, with effects that may be positive, negative, or both.

3. Which of the following is NOT one of the four elements of a loss exposure analysis framework used in ARM?
✓ The insurer's combined ratio

A loss exposure is described by the asset exposed, the cause of loss, the financial consequences, and the entity affected, not by an insurer's financial ratio.

4. Which situation is BEST suited to a normal probability distribution?
✓ Many independent, similar events producing symmetric outcomes

The normal distribution fits symmetric outcomes from many independent factors, unlike skewed severity data.

5. Which feature most distinguishes finite risk insurance from traditional insurance?
✓ It transfers a limited amount of risk, and premiums are a large share of the coverage limit

Finite risk plans transfer limited risk, and the insured often shares in favorable results because premiums nearly fund the limits.

6. When two or more loss exposures are likely to be affected by the same event, they are said to be:
✓ Correlated

Correlated exposures tend to move together, increasing the potential for a single event to cause aggregated losses.

What Practice Test Geeks adds beyond an AI chat for ARM

An AI chatbot can quiz you, but it can't reproduce the exam conditions or keep your record. Here you get:

  • A timed, full-length ARM mock exam — 50 questions in 65 minutes with a 70% pass mark, modeled on the official exam's question count and time limit, followed by a score report broken down by exam domain.
  • A fixed ARM question bank: the same test every attempt, so your score is comparable from one try to the next instead of changing with every regenerated quiz.
  • Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
  • A printable ARM cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
  • ARM flashcards built from the same question bank.
  • Free ARM practice tests with the correct answer shown after each question.
