I recently completed my core sac, but i'm worried about one question. It was on finding the residual value, but I forgot to add the units(Minutes) to my residual answer :S Will i lose a mark for this???

From my experience depends on the teachers marking it, some may be lenient some not so much.

No idea, depends on your teacher but I don't think exam markers would care when looking for the answer

It all depends on your teacher.
Best of luck.

All depends on the teacher and how lenient they're willing to be- mine wasn't so hung up on such little things, but yours may be. :/

Also, from what I've been told, if the question already specifies the units, then adding the units isn't entirely necessary. Eg. If the question says, 'find the time taken, in minutes, for Susie to get home from school', then even if you write 4 instead of 4 mins, you should get the mark. Again, depends on the teacher though.

I got the mark when I answered my question and I had forgotten the unit.
