Title: Anyone know anything about partial marks?
Post by: Timtasticle on November 07, 2007, 04:29:53 pm

For the last question in trig, I fucked up. Left it til last and couldn't think straight - as soon as I walked out it clicked...

Anyways, no point stressing about it.

But I'm just curious, the answer I wrote was 61/64. The actual answer was 37/64. The question was worth 2 marks... Someone said I would get 1 mark for the correct denominator...

Anyone know??

its unlikely, they only give out marks for showing appropriate working out. not partial answers
