As the UK variant did not indicate markings for question 1 and the INT variant did, are those who sat the UK variant at a material disadvantage as they had to assume the relative weights the examiner desired?

Hi Joseph,

I had the same issue, as UK students are disadvantaged by not getting the marks break up.
But i read somewhere that this is actually an advantage for UK students it seems.
The action has taken as a recommendation of UK practice board. Since no marks break up is given they can not cap the marks to particular questions. For example you may score 13 marks out of 18 in the A1 question. But you could make up for it in a different question in A.

For example you may write 6 procedures instead of 4 and gain 6 marks. But where as INT if they write 6 procedures for 4 marks question maximum they get is 4 marks.
