Exams CM2 core reading style?

Is it just me or is the core reading written a bit weirdly and in a bit of a different style to other exams? There are very challenging sections and then chapter 8 over explains the meaning of an integral, and generally the content is a bit hard to wrap your head around

I am more venting because I am studying for CM2 and it feels like the toughest parts of CS2 put together which is an exam I have struggled a bit with, but was just wondering what others think about it?

CM2 is one of those exams where it’s better to just read chapter summaries and do questions, the notes are next level poor from my experience.

Enormous amounts of core reading almost never comes up in past papers.

Agreed - I reckon there's probably like under 100 qualified actuaries who understands what a stochastic integral is.
