    Good day.
    Just started p-level and I’m wondering – how is the final mark calculated if I answer all the questions in section B?
    They give 3 questions and you have to answer 2 of them. If I answer all 3 of them – do they check all of them and take the highest marks combination or what?

    Mark the first 2…..if they say do 2 of 3 and you do all three they only mark first two. As an accountant you are supposed to be able to follow instructions, so doing all 3 indicates to the examiner that you not very good at following instructions, which will make you a bad accountant. Plus if you do all 3, it could mean you have not spent enough time doing the questions and so you might end up failing.

    I don’t think you can complete all three + a case study in 3 hours + 15 minutes reading time.
    Just take the best you are comfortable to answer the most
