IC22 Mock Test Sample 2

These questions highlight key underwriting, medical, and reinsurance concepts in IC22. Moral hazard arises when insurance cover is so high that death appears more valuable than life. Cerebrospinal fluid cushions the brain. Cataract and refractive errors usually need no underwriting rating. TB is dangerous in HIV patients. Inner ear contains organs of hearing and balance. Residence risk includes living, travel, and workplace factors. Facultative and treaty are reinsurance types. Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in Type 2 diabetes. Reinsurance reduces insurer liability. Asthma underwriting requires detailed medical history. Treaty reinsurance avoids repeated underwriting. Numerical and judgment methods guide underwriting decisions.
