    do edexcel maths do the ecf thing?
    do edexcel allow the error carried forward process?
    say if there was a 4 part q
    a) 4marks
    b) 3marks
    c) 2marks
    d) 2marks
    say in part a) i get the method right but i somehow got the final ans of part a wrong. the rest of the parts depend on the part a. if they do the ecf, does that mean i'd get full marks for the other parts or half marks or... none?

    main reason i'm asking this is because i really ****ed up on my s1 exam, stupid histogram question!

    yes
    so would you get full marks in the next parts of the question (ones after the first part)?

    depends on the mark scheme but certainly most of the marks
