    The marks in a consolidation question are effectively ALL in the workings

    If you make just 1 mistake in, eg, the working 2 for goodwill, and goodwill is worth, say, 5 marks, then you’ll lose just the one mark out of the 5 available.

    Getting the answers right from a revision kit question is WONDERFUL!

    The OT cquestions are not exam standard (except the comprehensive example – that one IS exam standard) but they give you the basic workings to put them all together to give you a sporting chance of doing well in an exam question

    Ok?
