You have to answer the question they set and not what you want them to ask. That’s simple, but important to comprehend and the examiner mentions this in his report in almost every exam.Time management is paramount. I spent 5 extra minutes on Q2 (1st question I attempted), and I needed around an extra 5 minutes for Q3 (last question I attempted). Even if you haven’t finished a question, once the allotted time is up, you finish your sentence and move on.
Don’t waffle. Waffling is for breakfast.
Use the correct format. If it’s a report, which it normally is, write as a report. The 4 professional marks are EASY marks. I left 4 blank pages so that I could work on the calculations at the end of the question, then I went back to write the report. It is always better to leave too many pages than too few.
It is better to dedicate time to think about what you want to write, and write that, than to just write willy nilly. That won’t get you many marks and you’ll waste a lot of time and hand muscles.
If you are spending too long on Q1 because of writing the report or doing the calculations, then you are going to work in order to improve that time. With more practise, it’ll be easier and you’ll find you understand more.
Hope that helps.
thank you very much for your advice

Thank God, it was such a reasonable paper.All over for me. Still can’t quite believe it.
pls can u share ur technique, i seem to spend soo much time on que one, espercially on de calculations
heyy guys, hv been reading ur comments.
i agree the questions were loaded. my first time of writing this paper. was caught up with ques 1. was confused abt the conversions because of the 3 currencies.the issue abt the components been exported direct into Europe threw me off. my mistake was nt converting the selling price of €700 into yilandwe. was able to inflate the figures well though but was nt abt to use them in the computation.
took too much time to analyse whether the final computation should be in yilandwe or euros befor converting to dollars.
was able to set up the report well though.
for the options, i did que 2 & 3.
