    The thing about the black ball-point pen is true…I remember they brought in the requirement 2 or 3 years ago.

    There were several other requirements they brought in concerning writing in the margin and writing up to the edge of the pages, but I can’t remember what they were….(they used to send you out a sheet with all the requirements with your exam entry docket…now they don’t send you anything).

    Can anyone remember what the requirements were regarding writing in the margins and to the edge of the page?

    Guys, the requirement with a black ball pen is must and also bolded in the exam docket in which we receive.

    @Techno
    you can print your own if you go into my ACCA and under exam entry, in UK they no longer send it in post you have to print your own copy. As for the margin answers, the examiner has stressed that nothing should be written on the margin even the numbering of the question simple reason I presume is that these are scanned into computers and marked from there and anything that is written on the margin is chopped off.

    Hope this helps!

    Good Luck!
