CBE or Paper Based Exam?

Hi!

I have not passed F8 yet – just preparing for September session and it would be paperbased because I passed F5 as CBE and me personally see several advantages of paper exam compared to CBE:

1) there is only one correct answer in test-format questions in paper based version – noway they ask You to fill in the gap, add missing word and so on, only choose from given results.
When passing F7 on paper I firstly made Section C and after that completion of Section A and B was like getting rest for me.
2) when I am preparing to exams using paper Kaplan Exam Kit, the questions are on paper and my answers are on paper (I usually write answers or do notes while preparing), so paper version of exam is very close to my preparation.
3) it is much easier for me to estimate tasks, rested to complete with exam booklet

Hope that would be helpful.

Best regards, Maria

Hi!

Personally I am not sure and would probably use black ball (NOT gel) pen only. But have just found similar conversation on this forum and that is it:

“Hi all,

– only black ball pens can be used on the answer booklet, nothing else, no highlighter, pencils, different colour or anything!
– you can take a highlighter pen for the question paper – I would highly reccommend it!!”

Hope that would help.
Best regards and best luck!
