    Do you know if you would get full marks on a question worth 3 marks, if the working is wrong but the answer was correct

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Depends how. If it's just done with a different method you'd get full marks but if they can clearly see you have got the answer by pure luck then I doubt it. Some mark schemes do give full marks for just giving the answer though, it really depends on the type of question.

    Thanks for the help. Could I expect to receive 1/3 and still get an answer mark?

    No.

    1 or 2 of the marks are awarded for correct showing of working.

    You can never get an answer mark without marks awarded for a method

    Ok, 0/3 it is then for that question. I should be able to get an a* still, so it's ok. Thanks for the help!
