    Sir, Could you please guide me through these points?

    1) Should we write the calculations in the appendix after the report? How would you recommend to approach the report answers?

    2) If I was to write in theory, 1 relevant sentence, would I score 1 mark?

    3) How would you recommend me to improve my speed?

    Thanks

    1. The calculations must be in the appendix and not in the report itself. Best is to look at some of the answers in your Revision Kit and see how they have lain out the report and the appendix.
    (In the exam it is best to do the appendix first (because you will need the answers for the report. Just make sure the pages are headed up properly as ‘appendix’ and ‘report’ so that there is no risk of the market being confused.)

    2. If the sentence is relevant, then yes – you would certainly get a mark. (That is why it is so important to always at least write something – every mark counts and you only need 50 to pass 🙂 )

    3. Practice. There is no other way. Sorry 🙁
