if audit procedures have 5 points and i know we need to write 5 points. But if (assuming in exam) if i write 10 points, do examiner checks all the 10 points to ensure candidates get 5 marks ?
im worried if the points i write may be somewhat wrong and may have to write some more extra points.
Yes – a marker must read everything you write. The only “capping” is when you have reached the maximum available, so you can’t be awarded 6 if only 5 are available.
Think of the issue like this – if you write 3 good points you will have 60% of the marks – this is a pass standard. It is better to “think more – write less” and have every point you make a good one that answers the question set – rather than write everything you can think of.
The dangers with writing twice as much are that your points may be too “thin” (insufficiently developed) because you put yourself under unnecessary time pressure to write more than is necessary. Also, there may be only a limited number of valid points – just 6 or 7 – so to write 10 you will be either repeating essentially the same points with different words or “knowledge dumping” or digressing into matters that are not called for by the question.
