I took care of all the points mentioned in my evaluation sheet from first attempt.....and followed them properly.......
as soon as exam started, I just opened all the controls on FP and documented them. So that we will not miss any ocntrol on FP without documentation.
I used Functional globals in place of Local variables. I had documentation written in a notepad. When ever I created new control, I was just modifying little bit in notepad and copy here. This reduced my documentation time and made me score 10/10. Style wise, I went with simple state machine with an event structure inside state machine. I could have used Shift registers for transferring data, but I chose to go with functional globals initially, So I did not want to change that and waste my time.
My target was to score atleast 14 in styling, 10 in documnetation and atleast 5 in Functionality. So I chose the requirements that can be completed 100% without dependencies first and started developing from that angle and then I could finish almost 70% of requirements. I spent 15-20 minutes in understanding requirements and finding dependencies.
