When we calculate the Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities at the first line we use Operating Profit or Profit before Tax?

Pbt. I’ve recently seen a mock exam where the answer starts with operating profit. In my view it should be pbt

It’s not confusing at all. The start point is profit before tax. That’s it. No question. If some printed solutions do not start with profit before tax, you need to take the matter up with the appropriate publisher.
