    Hi

    I am taking P1 next week and am worried out choosing theb wrong question.

    I appreciate time is likely to be an issue but can anyone advise how marks would be allocated if all three option questions were answered. Would it be first two attempted or the two with best marks?

    i think first 2 attempted..

    on questions though, the reading and planning time is a lot more relevant here than other papers…

    can actually start reading the scenario of 50 mark OR can frame the answers to the 25 mark questions in this time..

    Adam, don’t even THINK about going down that road!

    Sadly, I’ve only just seen your post so I am too late. But when you do the resit (if in fact you did attempt all three optional questions, then a resit is a strong probability) please resist that nonsense technique!
