This qusetion is for the Tutor,
I am a bit confused as to what to do. Are we allowed to abbrevate in the F7 exams? If yes when are we to do that?
I have friend who study with BPP and Kaplan and they said this is not allowed.
Thanks
How is it not allowed? Is a marker going to “fail” you because you’ve abbreviated tangible Non-current Assets” to “TNCA”?
i don’t think so
i THINK Its best if you would write the full form of the abbreviation that you plan to use and then write the abbreviation in bracket next to it in the first paragraph – whn you use that word the first time – the use the abbreviation anywhere forward in the answer.
The reason why most tutor will not recommend you to use abbreviation in exam is because the reader might not get what your abbreviation is refereing to.
My tutor for 2.1 once told me that i should not use B/W (between) in the exam paper as it seems a bit unprofessional to use such when writing an exam.
hope this helps
Regards
Ash123Don’t worry, I’m from Kaplan.
I assure you that what my lecturer had said was that it is absolutely fine to abbreviate, so long as you spell out the full name upon first mention and add the (abbreviations) beside the term.
Subsequently, you may use the abbreviations without spelling out for the rest of the answer.
