    Hello Mike

    Hope you are well

    I might have asked this question before but i am just asking this again to be fully satisfied as the exam is just round the corner.

    I have prepared for this f7 exam from many different sources including Open tuition and noticed many different variations in terms of how some tutors and text books have carried out their workings for Q1 and Q2. I understand these variations since everyone has got their own way of doing things. my question is that is there any compulsory format that ACCA examiners require for workings? for example my way of calculating depreciation and revaluation in Q2 differs from the way its done in BPP revision kit where they have created a whole table to calculate depreciation (this approach i believe is time consuming) all together for all types of assets.

    however i do this in much simpler way where i deal with each asset separately.

    does it really matter? my impression is that workings will be accepted as long as they make sense and are legible

    You’re correct – so long as they are legible and they make sense, that’s fine.

    You have to trust the professionalism of the markers – it’s not the first time they have been faced with workings of many varied layouts.

    Don’t worry!

    thanks Mike:

    for q2 and q1 it doesn’t make any difference right if i start these questions by my workings and do all of these first then at the end put them in performa?
