Following a successful pilot in June 2009, the papers to be attempted during the second week of the December 2009 session will be marked on-screen rather than on paper and as a result the way you complete your script has changed.

What does this mean for you?

Primarily it means there is less form filling as you won’t have to complete your details on a candidate registration sheet (CRS) as well as your script booklet as these two documents are now combined in a new look candidate answer booklet.

In addition you will be asked to write your name on the front of the new candidate answer booklet. This page is not presented to the markers at any stage. It will only be visible to ACCA staff when resolving any queries that could potentially arise.

It has always been important to read and follow exam instructions carefully; however it is vital now that we are using this new technology.

There are a number of critical instructions to follow in order that your exam paper can be marked correctly using the new on-screen technology. You will be reminded of these instructions again on the day of the exam. These are shown below:

On-screen marking – exam day instructions

1. Please complete your personal details on the front of the script booklet. Plus it is essential that you bubble (fully colour-in the appropriate circle) the following details very carefully:

• About you: your registration number and name
• About your exam: the paper you are taking and the version if appropriate
• About your centre: the centre code (including hall), centre name and desk number where you are sitting

all of these details are on your exam attendance docket.

For students sitting ACCA Qualification papers F5, F7, P1, P2, P3

2. Please start each question on a new page and the question number should be bubbled in the section at the top of the page.

3. Please use black ballpoint pen at all times; to complete your details on the booklet and when answering the exam questions. (Pencil, fountain pens, gel pens, roller ball pens, metallic effect pens, glitter pens and other colours of pen (including highlighter pens) will not be picked up by the scanning technology and could result in questions not being marked correctly.)
4. Please score out incorrect answers rather than use correction fluid.
5. Please do not write in the margins as this information will not be presented to the marker during the marking process.
6. Please do not write answers across the centre of the booklet as the middle margins will not be visible in the marking process.
7. New look continuation booklets will be provided if you require additional space to complete your answers.
It is essential that you complete all details requested on any continuation booklets issued and that you attach them to your main candidate booklet using the treasury tag provided. Please do not insert one booklet inside another.

I have a little bit confused about the rule number 2:

"2. Please start each question on a new page and the question number should be bubbled in the section at the top of the page."

-> does this mean I will have to bubble the question number on the top of the starting page only or on every pages of the booklet?

I only bubbled the question number on the starting page of each new question, is it enough?

Please answer me since I'm very worried about the exam.

Thank you very much!
