Hi, I would like to ask how are marks distributed in exams?
For example; in Q1 it is usually referring to audit risk/ business risk / risk of mm.So the correct way to answer is (1) identify the risk (2) Materiality (3) Accounting treatment (4) Risk and evidence , and each of these will be separated by 1 sentence, is that right?
Are marks distributed for each sentences for 1 valid point ( 1 mark ) or are marks distributed as per risk identified?
I’ve looked through BPP exam kit and still couldn’t figure it out as it only states 1 mark per valid point.
Does valid point generally means per risk or must include explanations as well to qualify as “valid point”.
This is my 3rd attempt in December, previously scored 44 in June and 39 in September. I believe I spent too much time in Q1.
Question 1 = 35 marks = 63 minutes AND NO MORE!
That’s a really simple rule to know. All you now need to do is apply it
“(1) identify the risk (2) Materiality (3) Accounting treatment (4) Risk and evidence , and each of these will be separated by 1 sentence, is that right?”
I see nothing wrong with that approach
“One mark per valid point” is a repetition of what I have been telling students for years!
Points means marks
One sentence, one point: One point, one sentence
And move on to the next point / sentence / paragraph
No sentence longer than 3 lines MAXIMUM!
For the next 3 weeks just read a revision kit … just read … just READ … JUST READ
Don’t attempt questions, just read
Don’t try to memorise, just read
Don’t try learning ISA / IAS / IFRS numbers nor titles, just read
And then, around November 22, post again for the final part of the advice for preparation for a successful attempt at P7
OK?
