Hi
Are we alowed to use abbreviations in our F7 exam answers.. e.g. SFP, Y/E, G.P., CoS….etc???November 11, 2011 at 4:16 am #89541Yes , we are allowed to use those. You can even write CSFP on top of your statement instead of full name.
but try to write those as clear as u can .and bear in mind that it all depends on marker. Whether he will be able to recognize your abbreviations or not.
November 23, 2011 at 5:09 pm #89542I will be using abbreviations. The paper is quite time pressured. The examiners will know what I/S SFP etc… stand for
November 25, 2011 at 8:25 pm #89543The opentuition tutor for f7 says … how many marks will you get for writing retained earnings instead of ret ears or ret earns. He says if i were you i would abbreviate like mad.. while calculating goodwill in w2 he uses naodoa i.e. net assets on date of acquisition. Every second counts in this paper.
November 26, 2011 at 5:13 pm #89544NAODOA sounds like some intense abbreviating.
I don’t think I would go to that extent.
The only abbreviations I use are for the y/e 31.03.09 and so on.. - AuthorPosts
