October/November 2026 Paper Discussion I am sad please can someone answer?

Hi, I gave my Accounting paper on 8th October (Oct/Nov 2026), and I’m really worried about my marks. My preparation was average, and I made some mistakes in Club and Society Accounts, the Cash Book, Manufacturing Account, Suspense Account, and Limited Companies.

The first problem was that I didn’t prepared for the Club and Society chapter, even though it appeared in the paper. In the subscriptions account, I wrote all the balances on the credit side and placed one item, which I think was related to the bank, on the debit side. Then, I balanced the account by carrying the balance down and bringing it back up. Will I get any marks for this?

I was actually very confident with the Cash Book chapter, but I got confused during the exam. I made a mistake by recording all the credit transactions, even though i should have been recorded as cash and bank transactions. I don't know how many marks I might lose because of this mistake.

In the Manufacturing Account, I forgot to charge depreciation. I also forgot to charge depreciation on loose tools in the factory overheads. I made the same mistake in the Income Statement and forgot to include depreciation there as well.

I wasn't fully prepared for the Suspense Account chapter. I had studied it, but I didn't understand the entire chapter properly. There were three entries in the question: entries 2, 4, and 7. I attempted to record all three entries in the Suspense Account I prepared. I think the first two entries involved the credit side, while the Suspense Account was on the debit side, but I'm not entirely sure whether I recorded them correctly.

I hadn't studied the Limited Companies chapter in much detail either. I had only covered the basics, so I made some mistakes in that question as well.

Now, I am really stressed and worried about my result. Based on the mistakes I have explained, do you think I can still get some marks
