    Hello, I know that we can’t get negative marks, but what would be their system of checking if question is to describe 4 substantive procedures, and I among them describe also test of controls, but also 4 good substantive? To make sure, I write more then 4. Thank you

    You get marks only for what they ask.

    If asked for 4 substantive you would get nothing for any tests of control.

    If you gave 5 substantive (1 extra) you would still only get marks for 4.

    If you doubted whether 1 of your answers was correct, you could add a 5th. Markers are supposed to look for correct answers and ignore the wrong ones, but who knows? Of course, you would have wasted time if you add a 5th to 4 already good ones.
