Hi,
Could you please confirm how many marks we should allow for question 1 relating to risks, whehter it be business, audit or ROMM? Some say 1.5 marks per risk, other questions have 2 or 3 marks per risk, can you pease confirm the best rule of thumb to apply.
I have looked at read mind of marker but it didn’t include section a questions
Thanks
Most marking is “up to 1 mark” per point i.e. sentence with up to 2 or 3 for the “matter” under consideration.
If a Q requirement is EVALUATION (e.g. of risk) you should assume generally up to 2/3 marks per risk – but don’t assume more than 3 or you will focus on too few risks. Basically – don’t “force” answer points – if you can think of 2 good points settle for that rather than try dreaming up a 3rd – if you can think of 4 then consider if one of the points isn’t a digression or just another way of expressing one of the other 3 points.
And please SEE the “How to tackle the AAA exam” post at the top of this forum – this does provide guidance on Q1!
