AQA GCSE Modular Maths - Mod 5 Help

Hi,
After looking at a mark scheme I was wondering on how the AQA mod 5 papers are marked.

Lets say you have a 3 mark question, and you get it right, with no working, do you get all 3 marks automatically or do you have to show your working? In all questions?

Its not that I don't put working, because I do. But it's just something I'm generally interested in.

Here's a question paper: http://store.aqa.org.uk/qual/gcse/qp-ms/AQA-43055-2H-W-QP-JUN09.PDF

And here's its mark scheme: http://store.aqa.org.uk/qual/gcse/qp-ms/AQA-43055-2H-W-MS-JUN09.PDF

All the marks are split up, into M1 and A1 etc. M is method. A is accuracy (the answer basically). In a question worth say 3 marks, 2 of those marks might be Method and 1 accuracy (answer), does this mean I'd only get one mark if I had no method but a correct answer.

Sorry if I haven't explained it very well, look at the question paper and mark scheme for reference.

Thanks.
