Hi,
Would marks be given in the exam, for something that is not in the marking scheme or in the ST9 course but is relevant and correct?

In one of the past exam questions ( Oct 2015 Q4 II) there is a question on the suitability of an alternative investment for matching a life insurers annuity's, would a half mark or mark be given in the exam for discussing the use of a matching adjustment in this scenario?
or is mentioning this just a waste of time in the exam?

thanks
 
Hi - Yes, it is often the case in ST9 that relevant points that are not on the marking schedule will gain marks. However, the marking schedule is there to ensure consistency across markers and candidates so there is a limit. For consideration, any points must of course answer the question.
