Will students lose marks for not formatting amounts as currency?
For example, entering 200000, rather than using spreadsheet currency formatting to make it £200,000
Ask the Tutor ACCA TX-UK
Number formatting in Section C
I'm not sure to be honest but as it is a financial exam and the model answers are in currency then I would think its a preferable and professional approach to take.
As long as you are consistent.
It certainly looks better, but since that there is no default £ formatting it means you have to create a custom format anew for every question, which given the time pressure we're under seems like an enormous waste of time.
True but you are trying to impress the exam marker. I always tell my students to make sure their answers look like model answers and make it easy for the marker to give you marks.
It's up to you
Fair enough, maybe it's worth doing.
it is.
