    Hey Mike,
    Sorry to bother you.

    Could you explain the difference between the wordings used in the QP like Explain, Discuss , Describe , Evaluate , Illustrate,Define etc.

    Which ones of these should be answered with numbers and which ones should be answered as just theory..

    Regards
    Sid πŸ™‚

    Evaluate literally means “put a value on” and certainly involves numbers

    “Explain”, “Discuss” and “Illustrate” could all involve using numbers to explain or illustrate a point that you are trying to make

    Mind you, so could “Describe”!

    But “Define” is clearly just words

    Does that help?

    Hi Sid

    No, no lectures on this area

    Maybe the best I can suggest is to review the answers to past exam questions on interpretation and commenting on financial performance and financial position

    Ok?
