Exam Format – Sept16

Hi,

The F8 Open Tution notes states the following with regards to the format of the paper:

The syllabus is assessed by a three-hour paper- based examination, consisting of a mix of
multiple choice and written questions. The bulk of the written questions will be discursive and
scenario-based, but some questions involving simple computational elements will be set from
time to time.The questions will cover all areas of the syllabus.
Part A Multiple choice questions (20%)
4 x 1 mark questions and 8 x 2 mark questions
Part B Written questions (80%)
4 x 10 mark questions and 2 x 20 mark questions.

However after looking at the specimen exam paper for September 2016 the multiple choice section consists of 30 marks with 3 other questions. Two being 20 marks and one 30 mark question.

Please kindly clarify.
