Hi…I am giving the paper based exam for f4 on the 8th….The specimen paper has got mtq questions which requires us to write short paragraphs..However, when i asked my friends who sat for cbe, they told me that no writing is required for mtqs…just the selection of options.So i am confused now..Shouldn’t both the paper based and cbe exam be the same??? So why does the specimen paper have writing in it?

How can they be the same? Cbe is computer marked – entirely computer marked – whereas paper based cannot be computer marked
Yes, there is writing in the paper based exam and no writing in the cbe.
Cbe gives you a result instantly. Paper based will take some time
