    In the exam will there is a separate sheet for the MCQs answer..where we would have to chose the appropriate answer?
    Or
    Will the MCQs be attempted in the same answer booklet as for the rest of the paper?
    How should the working for MCQs be shown? And what other things do I need to know in regards to how or in what way should the MCQs be attempted?

    Thank you!

    As we have not actually sat a real exam in this new format I would presume it will be a set page in the answer booklet with the 20 questions listed and you would colour in (in black ink) the appropriate circle. Either A, B, C or D.

    Also the working do not get any marks, so where you put them will not matter. So if there is room you could put them in the question booklet or a spare page in the answer booklet.
    Basically if your working give the correct answer but you colour in the wrong letter, you will get 0! So take a breath before you rush ahead.

    Hope this helps?

    Oh yes this does! It’s really nice of you to reply and in such detail..I Appreciate this a lot, thank you.

    I was talking to one of the ACCA correspondents, Chat live with ACCA.
    According to one of them, there would be a separate sheet for the answers to go in as you said and the workings may be done in the answer booklet. And yes the workings do not get marked!

    I presume if we make a mistake we show a cross over the top and colour another?

    Hello Razor,
    You would put an X through the wrong answer and colour the correct one, in black ink.
    I would expect this to be correct manner to do this? But I am sure that if you are present in the exam hall during the 15 minutes prior to the start of the exam, a full explanation will be given.
