    Hello,

    I would like to ask whether it is advisable to scrap a statement (e.g profit or contribution in variances or pricing) when realising that one part is wrong?
    I understand that it will cost time but I was wondering if it can secure marks. A new statement would be more comprehensive for the marker to understand instead of scribbling on the old one. It should not take very long if most are correct anyway.

    Could you please offer your insight Mr. Moffat?

    Thank you in advance

    No – if you make corrections, then just put a line through the wrong figure and write the correct figure alongside it.

    You cannot afford to waste time, and as long as you do your corrections neatly it will not lose you any marks.
