Do you need to show working to get full marks? Or is it as long as you get the correct answer you get full marks.

Correct answer = full marks

But it's not likely that you will be short for time so you should put working if in case you get a wrong final answer, you may be allocated some marks for working :)

If you dont want to put working make sure that all your rounding is accurate to their description because a .01 difference may mean 0 marks

If the question is worth one mark only then just the answer is sufficient.

Alright thanks. I probably will put working for most answers.

You can get consequential marks for the 2mark or 3 mark questions if you show the working out, I suggest you do because if you get the answer wrong, it's 0. For 1 mark questions though, the answer is suffice.
