    I am slightly confused.

    https://opentuition.com/acca/f8/acca-f8-key-to-success/
    states that the exam format will be as follows:

    Part A – 20% (12 multiple choice questions: four questions for 1 mark each, eight for 2 marks each)
    Part B – 80% (six compulsory questions: four questions for 10 marks each, two questions for 20 marks each

    While on other pages and ‘ask the tutor’ pages it is stated that the exam format is:
    A Three case questions each case having three sub-questions.30 marks

    B One 30 mark question and two questions of 20 marks each.

    What is the exam format we will actually be faced with?

    Thanks.

    Sorry. Ask the tutor is accurate. We need to update the key-to-success.

    Except…..each case has 5 sub-sections (not 3; no idea where that came from). Each sub-section is a 2 mark objective test question.

    Sorry for the mix-up.
