    Hello john.
    I saw in examiner comments that people often fail to properly format the report hence losing 4 marks, i want to ask is it possible that we put Appendix (calculations) before the explanation and theory?
    Since all solved answers usually have explanations earlier and Appendix in the end, But since in reality it’s not possible to explain anything before reaching conclusions from calculations.

    How are we to guess that we should leave 2 or 3 pages and perform calculations?

    So if you can explain please 🙂 if it’s possible to explain later and put appendix first

    It does not matter whether you have the report first or the appendix first.

    Just head up the pages either appendix or report (or possibly workings as well if you are doing quick workings and intend to present them more neatly later), so that it is very clear to the marker which is which 🙂
