hi
if a procedure or evidence question is for 4 marks.and just to be on the safe side i wrote 1 or 2 procedures extra(as each correct point is 1 mark)
will the marker just check the first 4 for 4 marks and ignore any extra points written?. or check all of the point and give marks for only the relevant points ?i just wanted to know this, as would i be wasting my time just by writing an extra point just incase one of my points didnt score any marks.(obviously given i have time and a point in mind).

1) The petty cash …
2) The system surrounding the processing of purchase orders …
2) Unclaimed wages are not …
3) The lack of an asset register ….
or …..
1) The petty cash system when considered in conjunction with the system surrounding the processing of purchase orders …
2) Unclaimed wages are not …
3) The lack of an asset register ….
But if there is no limit specified, by all means put in an extra one or two … but don’t go for over-kill
