    how the hell does this SNG work?

    You're making the mistake of assuming raw marks = SNG. There's a secret scaling process that goes on after the raw marks of all the subjects are attained, so just because you seem to be going better in one doesn't necessarily mean that you will get a higher SNG for that subject.

    a QMA question

    It's meant to be 9067 not 9057 :P Alternatively you can work in quarters rather than years. 4.6% p.a. compounded quarterly = 1.15% per quarter effective (dividing by 4). PV = 9067 (v^-16 + v^-32 + v^-48 + v^-64) @ 1.15% PV = 9,067[(1.15)^-16 + (1.15)^-32 + (1.15)^-48 + (1.15)^-64]
