SOS! Can someone tell me, that for instance in section 3, the task asks you to answer the question with no more than 3 words? So the 300 million should be written with letters instead of numbers, am I right? Also, 25% should be written with letters? Or if I would write my answer with numbers on the exam, would that be correct? Thanks!
Yes, spelling mistakes are taken as incorrect answers.
The audio isn’t available 🙁
I have done some spelling mistakes. Would I be penalized for that?
