    Dear tutor: can clarify how the marks allocated for P3? For example: Evaluate question total 10 marks. Need to give 5 points or 10 points? For those “list” questions how many marks per point? A bit confusing.

    If you look at ACCA’s answers on their site, they include marking guides. Generally for questions like ‘identify and explain’ or ‘evaluate’ there are 1.5 marks per point you make eg 0.5 for identify and 1 for explain.

    List is likely to be 1 mark per point you make.

    Sorry for interrupting into the conversation. I have a quick question that 1 point means one single paragraph or more than 1 ?

    I would deal with a single issue in a single paragraph: identification, description, effect, implications.
