    I wanted to ask a general question like in theory I saw a question to discuss the advantage and disadvantage of Bottom up budgeting for 8 marks so I had more points for advantage so is it a thing that we need to distribute 4-4 for advantage and disadv or it is fine if the total comes 8 points as a whole ?

    Usually (but not always) each point gets 2 marks. So for an 8 mark question you are looking to make 4 points. They do not have to be split evenly between advantages and disadvantages but you should certainly be looking for at least 1 point for each.
