    I realize the closer we get to exam date the more stupid our questions begin to become, but I need to ask this once and for all. And only you can answer this being an ex-marker of the acca exams.

    I have read your article on how to approach the exam and it did help indeed. I understand that questions can be answered in any order. However my question is this:

    Can i answer a question in any order, as long as i mark them correctly. For example Can i start with Q3 part (c) then (b) and then (a) or am i expected to do it in order. I understand that it can get confusing to the marker, and this is why i ask.

    Sorry to bother you again and again but I promise this will be my last question before March exams 🙂

    You can do the questions in any order, and you can also do the parts of the questions in any order.
    Just make sure that each part of each question is on a separate page (which is a good idea anyway because you might later want to change or add something to your answer, and you can only do that neatly if you have the space!) and make very sure that you write clearly at the top of the page which question and which part of the question is on that page. Then there is no confusion at all for the marker.
