Hello
i am going to appear for Otq exam of p1 in few days i wanted to ask. What should i do if there are any errors in questions in the actual exam?
What if there are erros in the solutions of the exam regarding formats eg if correct answer is $10000 and i wrote 10000 but the suggested solution was 10,000 and because of that system marks my answer as incorrect.
Are any students who gave p1 with new syllabus exam facing any such trouble? Is the new p1 exam questions properly reveiwed?
regards

Hi
Thanks for your question & sorry for the delay
I understand from other students that sometimes tuition provider question banks may be marking questions incorrectly due to the issue you mentioned.
such as 10000 being marked as wrong - whereas 10,000 is the right answer
Hopefully you are in agreement that Open Tuition questions are free from this formatting problem.
However, I can assure you that CIMA have an entire team of question writers/ proofers and system analysts to ensure that this type of error doesnt affect students in the real exam.
You are better to avoid punctuation - so leave out the commas or dollar signs ... but
the answer
10000
10000.00
10000.0
Will all be marked as correct ( if the system is looking for $10,000 for the correct answer).
Hope this helps
Thanks
Cath
