    John,

    I have a question maybe stupid but for me is not clear. When the markers are reviewing the exams , lets say an open question were you needed to calculate variances (f.e. labor ones) and is stated to calculate them and assess the performance of the manager and give improvements for the company. In case you calculate the variances incorrectly, as consequence the assessment you will be inappropriate (lets say you assess favorable variances and they were supposed to be adverse). How is this mark in the F5 paper do you have a chance to get marks from the assessment of the variances even if you calculate them wrong ?

    Cheers!

    You do not lose marks twice.

    So if you got the wrong figures for the variances, you will lose marks for that part, but if you made sensible comments on your figures then you will get full marks for that part 🙂

    So do not worry too much 🙂
