    Hi sir .
    Sorry to ask this silly doubt , let us imagine if there is a question asking us to evaluate strength & weakness of a company . The allocated marks including the professional skills is 20 .

    So if we write 5 strength & 5 weakness would be sufficient ?

    So one point generating two marks ? Is this how it works ?

    That is probably the best estimate, but to earn the two marks the point has to be fully developed. Saying under ‘weaknesses’ something like:

    Poor finance

    Would earn only 1/2. You have to say why this is a weakness. So somthing like the following is needed:

    The company has a very high gearing ratio which exposes it to risk and which will limit investment in new assets unless more equity is raised.
