    Sir I have done some mistakes in AAA paper.

    1.I have written capital expenditure grant as revenue expenditure grant in grant Romm risk and didn’t mention that it will create liability.

    2.I have written that life will be assessed at each year end for an intangible asset with indefinite useful life in matters to be considered question.

    3. I have Written forex risk in both Romm and business risk question when the currencies were same between two countries.

    So are these mistakes pretty serious that could led me to failure marks like 49 or 48 if My marks were to total at 50 or 51.

    Rest assured – there is NO “negative marking” in any ACCA exam (and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise). Your point 3 is not so much wrong but irrelevant and there will be many candidates who make points about non-existent RoMM. The examiner/marker may be a little sad that you didn’t read the Q scenario with sufficient care but you will not be penalised for this. I don’t know why you think your 2nd point is wrong – it sounds right to me. If again you mean that it wasn’t relevant – don’t worry – it will be ignored.

    And what about the first point because that’s the mistake I’m very worried about.

    There is no negative marking – you just don’t get the credit that you would have got had you made a correct statement.
