    If substantive procedures for trade receivables has been asked for 4 marks and lets say I have written 8 points for that and all 8 of them are patially correct so that i score half mark for each point so in this manner will i get 4marks and how the examiner would check my points would he give best points marks or the first 4 points marks?

    You would be far better off to give only 4 or 5 (max) points – if you are trying to give too many chances are that half of them will not be relevant (or repetition) and those that are relevant are too brief – so you could end up with only 4 x 1/2 marks = 2 marks. The marker has to read and mark everything and is not required to make any judgment about which are “best” – they award 1 mark, 1/2 mark or 0 marks too each point. The marking system will “cap” the total at 4,
