2008 assignment X1 question2

I looked at the solution for 2008 assignment X1 question2 .

The “style” is very different from the solutions in the exam reports of the CA3 professional exam.



For example, in assignment x, the whole sentence is written on a slide, as below

_________________________________________________

*The higher the expected amount of interest
to be earned in the future, the less we need
to put aside now................................


*..................since the smaller transfer value
together with the higher interest will be enough to
provide the pension.​

________________________________________________


One sentence in 1 slide using 6 lines…… this style is very different from the solution for CA3 exam in exam report.
It contains too much information, but very easy to understand.

My question is
Will the examiner prefers the style in assignment X or the style in exam report?

I think the assignment X solution may be more information than expected, because it needs to ensure we understand.

There are many acceptable 'styles', and the examiners will be happy as long as the message is conveyed appropriately. Best not to try to reproduce just one style each time.

If the slide contains a complete sentence with 38 words, will we be penalised?

I like the style in a slide in assignment x, because it is very easy to understand
 
Normally I'd baulk at 38 words in a sentence. But because it's split up into two bits, and as you say, is easy to understand, it works for me - and hopefully the examiners too!
