Fall 2018 Q9 - general strategy for description type of question
Hello,
Fall 2018 Q9 : A state has proposed creating a state-administered WC fund to act as its exclusive provider of workers' compensation coverage
a. Describe two arguments in favor of the state's proposal
the sample answers just require "two of the following" bullet points, which contain a lot of : lower premium / reducing costs / less advertising / States offer cheaper coverages... in my opinion, they just expressed the same thing (lower cost so lower premium). So if an exam taker really list two of these bullet points from above, would the grader give full or half the points? -- I just want to understand their philosophy
thank you

There are indeed bullets that are equivalent, most of which are related to lower cost. However, I also see bullet points not related to lower cost.
They were lazy and included all acceptable answers that they saw in the bullets. You would have to present a cost-related and a non-cost-related bullet to get full mark.
Got it. thank you!
Sure, good luck.
