    Thought it was OK. Definitely harder than the April exam, which I did as a mock beforehand. But probably a bit easier than the Acted Mock Exam A.

    The first two questions (stochastic dominance and indifference curves) might have caught a few people out since it doesn't seem these topics have been tested in that level of detail previously. Also, the last question (Merton model) required interpolating the table values which was a real pain given the time limits in the exam.

    What did everyone do in question 1 to show which if any exerts stochastic dominance? For the question on portfolio theory, to find the portfolios on the efficient frontier was it correct to equate the efficient frontier equation and indifferrence equation and find two values for the return and variance?

    for question 1 I completely forgot about absolute dominance and tried to improvise:D
    for your second question I did just that
