    If for instance we calculate the taxable profit figure wrong but calculate the tax in the right manner but on the wrong figure do we get no marks for the whole question? Do we get no marks for the wrong figure and all marks for the other ones ?

    I read something a long while ago, that if you make a mistake, the rest of the question is marked according to your revised figures, not the correct figures. Therefore, if you make a mistake early on in the question, you won’t automatically lose marks for the remaining questions. I suppose for that reason marking F6 involves more work than some of the other papers.
