    Good day.
    If on exam I have 5 questions, but only 4 are compulsory (25 marks each), what should I do: pick 4 of them and not try for the 5th?
    If I try for 5 questions, do I have to mark on the title page that I have tried all the 5 questions or I have to mark only the questions that I wan to be checked by the tutor?
    If I solve 5 questions, what will tutor do? Will he calculate the total mark of 4 best solved?

    Hi, There is no alternative in ACCA exam ques paper. If there are 5 ques. you have to ans them all. in the f7 paper , ques paper will be like this

    Q1= Business combination
    Q2= Published Accounts
    Q3= Cash flow/Analysis (or both)
    Q4= IAS/IFRS
    Q5= IAS/IFRS/regulatory framework.

    and you have to ans them all.

    What I mean is:
    https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-students/2012/p2int_2011_dec_q.pdf

    Two of three questions in P2 Corp.reporting section B are compulsory.
    If they do so in any other exam, what do I do?

    LOL. You posted in F7 group about p2 question paper. well, If the examiner ask u to ans 2 questions out of 3 , you have to ans 2 obviously. btw , Section B isnt compulsory . A is compulsory. it is 50 marks ques. AND you have to ans also 2 out of 3 from section B. here only 2 out of 3 ques are compulsory. so two 25 marks ques makes 50. then, total 100 marks is completed. Hope that make sense.
