Oh that's great, thanks for informing me!

Your welcome

Hey have you studied mechanics ?
I dot understand one thing in the markscheme, e.g when I get an answer of like 1666.67 they round it to 1670 in the markscheme! Why is it like that?

Will they cut marks for this?

Hi, though I did not take Mechanics, usually the convention in CIE is to round to 3 significant figures unless explicitly stated in the question. 3 SF of 1666.67 is 1670, so that is why you see it in MS that way. You can keep it like 1666.67 and there would not be any problem.

Thank you MU.

And yes, it's worth a mark. Round to 3 sig.fig. You've to do this for all inexact values.
