    Hi guys,

    Do you have any information about the weight of different syllabus sections in AA 12.2020. Is the distribution constant in different sessions, or at least do you have any approximation about these weights.

    Wish to keep being this much useful as you are now!

    Kind regards,
    Stanimir

    ACCA does not weight the syllabuses – but if you read the approach to examining section of the syllabus you will see the areas from which the 20 and 30 mark Qs in Section B will be drawn.

    Thank you for the answer, Kim!
    Is it possible a certain section not to appear in an exam? And also what would be the maximum marks available from Audit evidence section (let say that it has most marks allocated, as usually most important one), probably up to 50 marks or it is possible to reach 60% or even more of the exam?

    Sorry I did not see your repost – as there are 5 syllabus areas in which A is “light” and B, C, D could predominantly make up a 30 mark Q, I think the maximum for each of B, C, D is 25-30% with A and E making up the balance. So NO – audit evidence is not the most important – and no area is of such importance that it could make up half of the exam.
