    Hi

    Excel based answers - copy and paste is not allowed for our exams. For accounts and for reserving questions, it is tough to write on paper and then transfer to the word document due to time constraints. I find it difficult to think and record answers for such numerical questions right on a word document. Any tips to handle numerical questions?

    You are allowed to use Excel: " you may wish to use Excel to aid with calculations". But you can't copy "calculations".
    So it would be fine to copy a table of numbers from Excel to Word, simply creating a Word table of numbers in your script, to avoid typing them out.
    However, where any of your numbers require you to show some working to explain where they have come from, then you should also include whatever you would have shown in a hand-written exam. Eg: 10 + 10 - 5 = 15.
    We do not recommend that you copy "calculations" from Excel that involve cell references or Excel functions.
