Maximum 10 marks for calculating and discussing the cost variance and/or cost performance index accurately Along with the knowledge element of the exam, one of the key challenges for achieving a pass successfully is managing exam technique – that is to say – completing the exam within the time limit, and ensuring that the answers provide the information required by the examiner.

You will only get marked on the first 10 questions you attempt. This means that if you write 2 sentences for one question, then change your mind and put a full answer for a different one, those two sentences will be marked, and the final question you answered will not. This is why it’s important to decide which questions to answer at the start.
