Consequential errors

(1/3) > >>

costargh:
I just did a prac exam and was marking it myself right...
I got all the 6 BDA's right which were worth 12 marks BUT i put in an alien BDA... the solutions didnt state how much including an alien wood deduct... i put 10/12

But this is what im unsure about. Because of that alien BDA (which increased expenses by 500 and increased acc dep by 500) my P+L s other expense extract was 500 dollars out (worth 5 marks)

then the P+L summary account was also out by 500
and the capital account was out by 500...
(P+L and capital account worth combined 5 marks)


This is where im confused... how does the mark allocation work for those ones. Iv heard that if you get a bit wrong and it affects questions later u cant get penalised again and again for the one error... ie... the alien in the General Journal cant keep causing deductions throughout my paper for that same alien...

can someone explain to me =)

Actually, I think the initial alien may only by a deduction of 1 mark (I've never seen a deduction of 2 marks for an alien) giving me 11/12 but then in the next question I think id get 4/5 and then the next one again maybe 3/5 OR 4/5

elaine:
yeah i'm pretty sure aliens only deduct one mark

lol. accounting aliens. i love that term

and yeah i was wondering about the whole consequential marking scheme too.
if you have a wrong figure from a previous question and use it in your next question, can you still get full marks for the second question or do you just get penalised less?

Thats a nice succinct way of saying what I said in about 3 paragraphs LOL.
I e-mailed Keith King who did the Access Education lecture at Monash Clayton. Hopefully he gets back to me by tomorrow.

lol sweet, friends in high places

Yep, you can still get full marks for any questions that follow. They deduct one mark for the original error, and then any consequential errors are not penalised.
