A question about calculation questions (1 Viewer)

[Trebla]

You know how in maths, if you have an error in an earlier part of the question [e.g. part (i)] can carry that error to the latter part of the question [e.g. part (ii) and (iii)], you won't be penalised in that latter part of the question if your method is correct. Does the same apply for Physics calculation questions?

 

[alcalder]

It certainly should.

yep, i believe that the same marking criteria used for math is used for all science math questions.

generally speaking, yes.

But if it's an easy HSC and they're really trying to distinguish students marks, they may not be so lenient.
