    Hi tutors,

    I know that it is best to start every question on a new page.

    I wanted to ask, how bad is it to start every “part” (a, b, c etc.) of a question on a new page, or is it good?

    I am asking this because I feel very uncomfortable about discursive elements of questions and want to attempt them at the end. Could leaving a whole page for these parts (or for any part that I want to attempt later), be a good strategy or will it cause me to be penalised for starting each part on a new page?

    Please answer with specific regard to F9 and F8 examiners.

    Thanks for helping. 🙂

    If you look at my article on “How to Pass F9” (which you can find linked from the main F9 page), I do suggest starting every part of a question on a new page for the very reasons you state above.

    You will certainly not be penalised for doing so.
