    Quick question, how do ACCA mark their long questions? Those ones where you have to show the working.

    Do they mark the final answer only or do they give a mark for each correct step you perform during the working?

    Students receive marks for workings as well as answers.If they incorrectly come to a wrong answer for a figure used in later calculations they will not be penalised further for their mistake and will be allowed to substitute in this wrong figure in further workings.
