Hi, all

I'm was having some doubts about F6, since this is my first sitting. Will there be questions out in the exam that is not part of our syllabus?

And is there only one or more marker for the paper?

Janelin, there should not ever be questions which are not in syllabus, that what syllabus is meant for, to provide all areas which could be tested. Sure, there are more markers as by any other exam.

F6 is quite straight forward when talking about exam. There will be 100% question which will test Income tax, another one will test Capital Gains, next one Coorporation tax and you can expect VAT. So that is 4 out of 5 which you can count on. The question is what within these areas will be tested. However, since for example for Income tax there are at least 20 types of benefits I dont think there is any need for examiner to reach outside of syllabus. The syllabus already contains so much...There are some examiners favorites, which you can find by looking at the last 5-7 exam papers and when reading his reports and interviews. So practice emax-style questions (if you have time) or focus on covering at least these favorites and you should have a pretty good chance to pass. Good luck.
