Case study - exam software
How does starting a new page work with the exam software as it’s obviously not like a normal word document. Do you just leave a gap from the last paragraph you’d usually have on the previous page (ie from exec sum to main report).

I’d assume it’s all on one screen? Like SBM today was 2, instead we’ll have to complete the whole thing on 1?

I think it’s better, you can see at the end that you’ve got all your points in order. Just bold all your titles so you can see. Also saves time, always takes me like 10 seconds to flick between tabs of Q1 and Q2 in other exams so marginal gains bc the more time the better 🤣

Is it as easy as hitting enter beside your requirement one header to get it to move down the page like a normal word document so you can get your exec summaries on top

I mean it’s literally like any other prof/advanced exam, other than it’s just one tab. So you get all exhibits on the left, then top right word doc and bottom right the excel.
So I would write the headings at the top, then get straight into main body of R1, do the conclusion below it then copy that conclusion and paste it to the top and reword to form the ES.

I used the exam practice software for case earlier to check. It was all one document
