    Hi tutor,

    May I bring Stop Watch in the Exam hall as it is helpful for me to manage time for each part of questions?
    By the way, can I use abbreviations in my scripts after I denife it (e.g. …financial statement (FS)….verifying prior year’s audited FS,….)? If possible, it save lots of writing time.
    In addition, sometimes I cannot recall exact description of a standard, may I simply say its code only (E.g. IAS 24, ISEBA, ISRE 2400, ISA700)? Is it allowed and still get full marks?

    Appreciate your soon response.

    Thanks a lot

    Yes, but not an alarm type that rings at the end of 63 minutes!

    Abbreviations? Yes, by all means

    But be careful that you DO write out in full the first time particularly when writing a press release, report, letter, and so on and particularly to a non-accountant

    ‘only hybrid versions Sep/Dec 15 and Mar/Jun 16 are available’ – FULL STOP!

    The ACCA are not going to publish 4 exams each year … just 2 hybrid ones
