    Hi, I sat my first ACCA exam today (F5) and I understand that on the front sheet of the answer booklet, you have to tick which questions you attempted in Section B (There were 5).

    I attempted all 5 questions, but I forgot to tick them on the front sheet to say I attempted them.

    My answer booklet has rough workings on the first few pages for MCQs (which I later crossed out), and I then started each Section B Question on a new page, and shaded in the relevant bubble at the top of the page.

    It might be a silly question, but will there be any problems recording my marks/marking in general for Section B if I didn’t confirm my question attempts on the front sheet, with my answers not seen until a few pages in?

    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    I heard that as long as you have put the number/letter of the question in the booklet itself (beginning of the paragraph) then your’re fine.

    I also forgot to tick questions attempted on the front page. Wondering if examiners would be so strict that my paper wouldn’t even get marked, in the worst case ?

    It happened to me too the first time and my paper has been marked. No need to worry in my opinion.
