Is it true that the graders are only looking for writing ability to write a coherent memo and that the information/content can essentially be wrong?

I'd appreciate any advice on this.

From studying Becker and taking the exams, it seems as if the AICPA
graders of the CPA exam are purely looking for organization, sentence
structure, punctuation, etc. in the Written Communication (WC) portion of
the BEC exam.

I know Becker suggests taking 15 minutes per WC question (there are 3 of
these), so allocate your time appropriately. I think 15 - 17 minutes is
sufficient enough to develop several paragraphs on the topics presented
in the prompt.

I'd recommend being concise, answering all parts of the questions,
maintaing basic sentences and avoiding run-ons and misspellings. An
understanding of basic grammar is key to achieving a score of "Stronger"
on the WC section.
