    The ASET solutions to this paper seem quite thin on the ground compared with other papers, in fact some of the answers it is difficult to see how it would get anyway near earning full marks.

    For example, Q8 (iii) is for 5 marks, the ASET solution only really briefly covers 3 points, which on a half mark basis gives 1.5 marks, and even being generous and 1 mark per point only gets 3 marks.

    In the real exam, should we be elaborating more than the detail given in this particular ASET solutions? It is a little bit confusing, because in other papers it seems ASET goes into generally more detail than required.

    Sorry if this ASET appears too thin. It was not deliberate - simply less to say about some of the questions.

    Q8(iii) is sparse - but is nearly identical to the Examiner's Solution (available online) and the examiners seemd to think it could be stretched to 5 marks. I would expect the marks to be [1/2] for spotting the correct behaviour(s) and then then [1] to [1 1/2] for an explanation of that behaviour. Perhaps only [4 1/2] in total but then scoring 90% on every question would be sufficient to pass :)
