Can you pass level 4 budgeting if you do bad on the written questions but great on all the maths?

I sat my MABU exam today. I am confident I done ok on all the calculations as I have done all the practise exams and have been getting 95-98% correct. I think that I have failed as I only got to do the part a's of the written tasks. I didn't understand what was being asked on the parts b and c and I ran out of time. Is it 70% you need to get overall? Or do you need to achieve 70% out of the two written tasks (would be 28 out of 40 marks which I defo haven't got!) any help would be appreciated!

Hi, it is 70% overall. I passed budgeting earlier this year & didn't manage to complete both written questions. Good luck!!

I passed budgeting with the following results breakdown:-
6 numerical questions : Exceeded x 6
2 written questions : Below requirement x 2

The weird thing was I spent around 55 minutes of the 2 hour 30 minute exam answering the 2 written questions!

So in answer to your question, yes it is mathematically possible and it certainly has been done.

I wanted to appeal but I was not allowed to appeal as AAT does not accept appeals from students who have been passed as competent.

I still have no idea what went on there.
