Question paper has two Sections

Section A
30 questions X 2 marks = 60 marks
16 questions x 1 mark = 16 marks

Section B
6 questions x 4 marks = 24 marks
Good time management
The exam is 2 hours long. (120 minutes)
You should therefore spend 1.2 minutes per mark.
It is best to work through Section A first, which should take
you 91 minutes.
Spend the remaining 29 minutes on Section B.

Points to remember:
 Don’t get stuck on difficult questions.
 If a particular question does appear difficult, move on,
and comeback to it after you have answered all the
easier questions.
 Don’t time yourself for each question, but do check
every half hour that you have answered 25 marks worth
of questions.
 Two minutes before the end of your time for Section A,
go back and answer all outstanding questions, even if
you have to guess.
 There is no harm in guessing as there is no negative
marking in ACCA exams, so the worst that can happen is
you lose the mark.
