    There are two ways of calculating planning and operational variances that are both acceptable but give different answers.

    SecureNet was set by the previous examiner who preferred one of the two ways of calculating. The current examiner prefers the other way (which is easier and is the way I therefore explain in my free lectures).

    As I replied before, the current examiner prefers the way I explain in my free lectures (which is also much easier than the other way) 🙂
