• Why many lost marks by ignoring command words like calculate, explain, and advise
• How poor time management and unnecessary explanations cost valuable marks
• Where candidates misunderstood key fundamentals like partnership income, NIC, VAT partial exemption, and marginal tax rates
• How to correctly apply nil rate band usage and timing of lifetime gifts for IHT planning
• When gift holdover relief applies and when gains are deferred vs immediately taxable
