    Dear Sir

    May you kindly provide greater clarity on the mark allocation for SBL exams and amount of points to make.

    This is from Sample Answers : Specimen

    Up to 2 marks for each relevant point made in discussing the factors which have enabled HiLite to be successful in its own country.

    I also read somewhere that a point is available for each point made.

    What then is the ideal number of points to make, for example, for a 16 mark requirement. And how many lines would suffice for a point to be made if I was being concise.

    I can’t provide more clarity then is supplied by ACCA at the end of their answers

    It is not possible to equate number of lines needed to make a point. Uoumcould write 10 lines of,rubbish and score nothing or a couple of g great lines and earn 1 mark or more.
