Hi,
Quick question for the tutors and writers- how is everyone adopting to electronically typing in Paper A? I find myself writing out the answer long hand, then typing, which takes a lot of work and duplicates the work.
An alternative approach I started using is with MS Excel, i.e. using Excel as I'm going through the question and pasting into the word file. I keeping the intermediary values in Excel to show the step by step calculations however I do not write the actual formulas e.g. "A3*B4". I'm curious to know other ppls approach and suggested advice on how best to practice for the exam.
I was using my previous approach rather confidently and got my mock exam scripts marked in that fashion (without penalisation) however the new FAQs on Sept 3rd have me concerned, specifically the following line from Can I use Excel to help construct my answers?
"Calculations that are copied and pasted from Excel (or any other application) into your Word answer script will receive zero marks."
Thanks,
Z
