    Hi people, I am home studying F8. Looking at December 2011’s paper and answers I notice that, for example, the answers to questions 3(b) and 4(c) are set out in a tabular/column form.
    My question may seem a little strange !! – but are you actually allowed to answer the exam like this i.e. in tabular/column form or should you strictly write paragraphs since it is mainly a theory exam?

    Thanks

    Hi, from latest examiners report, it is more convenient to write in paragraphs, like 1st implication and 1st recommendation, then second implication and recommendation and so on. Its up to you what you choose -columns or paragraphs.

    well if you can combine them its really the best combination. Give headings, write the detail and next paragraphs give conclusion.

    so thats a good way of helping markers. Remember! You need to help marker inorder to get marks!! 🙂
