Hello I have encountered a "suggest" question which worth 7 marks (Question 6(iii) - April 2012)) and was wondering how many suggestions I meant to give and how much I should elaborate on this. For example, do I need to provide 7 suggestions with elaborations or 14 suggestions? Thanks
Hi Jane, In the Student Handbook (which you can find on the IFoA website), there is a section on command verbs. Under "Suggest", it says: Communicate a range of solutions, actions or reasons without justification. (This is normally used in a situation where there is insufficient information provided to form a definitive recommendation or proposal, e.g. “Suggest possible reasons” or “Suggest possible actions”.) This suggests to me that you're probably looking for more like 14 suggestions. I hope this helps! Anna
