    Im not able to decide how much to write for a question. The mark allocation seems to be different for different types of questions.

    Can u suggest me some technique to make out how many points to write as an answer for a particular question. Answers in the kit seem to be too long for the marks.

    The general rule is 1 mark a point – see https://opentuition.com/topic/audit-marking-scheme-1-mark/
    See also here https://opentuition.com/topic/how-many-risks-to-be-written/ that to EVALUATE something (typically risks) you will need to write 2 points per risk.
