    I was Appearing for My Acca papers F5 and F8 in June.

    My Concern is that I wanted to know regarding the writing styles for both papers , that in what manner should the answer be composed. Should there be paragraphs and no bullet points or should there be headings?

    Regards

    For paper F5, bullet points are fine.

    More important is to write one or two lines for each point; leave a blank line between each point (so the marker does not miss any of your points); and, although you do not need to write headings, do underline (or write in capital letters) any key word for each point.

    For F8, you should ask in the Paper F8 Ask the Tutor Forum – obviously Paper F8 is entirely written (and I am not the F8 tutor 🙂 )
