It has been a tradition in examination system that in case a student attempts extra questions, the “BEST of” policy is attempt.
The ICAI has given up this policy and decided to go for first questions in order and the extra questions attempted last in sequence will not be valued.
Example : If only 2 out of 3 questions are to be attempted —
|
Marks obtained |
Ques. 1 | 30 |
Ques. 2 | 15 |
Ques. 3 | 35 |
Total (earlier) |
65 [Best of 3 i.e., Q1 30 + Q3 35] |
Total now |
45 [First two, Ques. 3 will not be valued] |
Advice : VineetSodhani.Com therefore advises students to follow old advice of parents viz. “attempt those first, which you know better”. There is no need to attempt extra question later on, as they will not be valued. Make choice within 15 minutes of reading time.
