If all the steps are correct and only the answer is wrong, then only one or two marks are deducted, but if one step only is correct, then you gain one mark for it, and it was more or less like Oct/nov 2011, you found it harder?

Here are the papers 22 and 42 marked

For paper 2 question 5 was actually 64,000

For paper 4 question 6 with the quadrilateral was actually 64


Would it be okay for paper 44 question 10Ci that angles CDG and ADE were the same and sides CG and AE?

Do they give partial marks ?
In many questions, I got the first part correct but the answer wrong.
For example in 17c)
I found the gradient as -1.25 and left it like that. I didn't solve it to get -2.5

In question 11, Found the value of 'k' and did everything correct but when finding the answer
I wrote 4(10-1)^2 (I misread the question :S)

I wonder if they'll give marks for that ? Rest all the paper was pretty simple. Hoping for 175-180 as A* and NOT 188 as ON 11 :/
