- A = 1 point
- B = 2 points
- C = 3 points
The audit will be marked out of 90 points. The higher your marks, the more confident you are in the skills listed within the audit. The lower the marks, the less confident you are in these skills. Once completed, go to the quiz report section on the main page and extract your answers in the excel report format. You should refer to column A, D and F.
