This question has 17 marks yet the ASET solution does not seem to contain enough points to attain this many marks. Am I missing something?

Hi

The answer used to be slightly bigger. It contained a brief discussion of what GN9 said about estimating the solvency position. The examiners' report also contains these points, as GN9 was explicitly examinable at that time. We removed this material given that GN9 is no longer examinable.

There are just over 30 distinct bullets or paragraphs in the answer. Most would be worth 1/2 a mark, but a few of the bigger paragraphs could be worth 1 mark (or equivalently have two ideas for 1/2 a mark each), so I would say there is just enough for 17 marks. (With the GN9 material, there was more than enough for 17 marks.)

I hope this helps

Best wishes
