Limiting to the number of examples asked in exam

Hi,

I have a quick question regarding the number of examples required in an exam. If for example we have been asked to identify five audit procedures, is it acceptable to give more than five examples? Thus increasing the chances of getting all five marks, albeit, wasting extra time. Or will the examiner just mark the first five procedures given (as they do in other exams such as GCSE’s) and ignore any subsequent answers.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
