Marking question..

I get the correct answer.. but don't show any working at all. Would I still get full marks?
For example, a circuit diagram with an input voltage of 12V, two resistors in series, one resistor is 4ohms, other is 8ohms, I know the drop across the 4ohm resistor is 4V, do I really need to show working out if the question is worth 2 marks? It just seems kinda like a waste of time when I know the answer just by looking at it..

Also, a question is worth 4 marks, but I mess up all my calculations, and somehow get the correct answer. I'd still get the 4 marks?

For the 4 marks questions, there will  be marks awarded for working. So your working must be correct.

Ok, I did a practice exam, did a 4 mark question, but worked it out completely different to how it's explained in the solutions, and still got the correct answer. Would I get the 4 marks?

Oh, if you did it a different method, then yes ofcourse you'd get the full marks. :)
