    In CBE, when keying in a figure in thousands or millions in a fill in the box question. Should you type in the figures with a separator. For instance 600,000
    Or you can just type it like 600000
    I’m asking this because Section A and B part of FM is not human marked.

    You do not need to type the separator.

    Always do check that the question does not ask for answers (for example) in $thousands, which is common.

    Otherwise the software accepts a range of answers so as to not penalise when different people type the answer in a slightly different format.
