Good Day:
The calculations on AFM sometimes takes time to arrive at a specific figure to further answer the other questions such as based on your results in (a), recommend or suggest ...
Please what exam technique to apply when I have not reached a specific figure but because of time pressure, I have to jump to the next question that requires info from the previous.
Please if you asked to assume a figure, how much mark do you think I will be loosing by using this approach.
Thank you.
Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM
Please advice
7y ago#1You do not lose marks twice for the same mistake.
If you do not have time to finish the first part of a question then you will obviously lose the marks for whatever you did not finish.
However if you then move to the second part of the question and assume a figure from the first part then you will still get full marks for the second part, provided obviously that you are doing the right thing with your assumed figure.
Just make it clear that you have assumed a figure so that there is no risk of the marker being confused.
