Please, could you tell me if in the exam we have t justify why i choose that option for MCQ and more than this to show what could be wrong with all other alternatives. Or should be enough to circle the option i think it’s correct and that’s all…?! I mean is need to be seen any description why tht? Evident that where are calculations to do i have to write down somewhere…
Thank you,
October 13, 2014 at 5:23 pm #204324All that will be marked for Section A is the answer you have chosen.
You are not required to explain why.
Obviously for questions that required you to do calculations, you will have needed to do some workings. However your workings will not be marked – only the answer you chose.
(So don’t waste time making your workings look pretty 🙂 )October 14, 2014 at 5:25 pm #204440Thank you very much … 🙂

Is there a pilot paper reflecting the change in the exam structure? Not sure what kind of questions to expect?
Thanks
AgnesOctober 20, 2014 at 5:47 pm #205142I think you have asked this somewhere else as well!!
There is a specimen paper on the ACCA website.
It is also worth watching the introductory lecture on this website where I explain both the syllabus and the format of the exam.
