Do you Lose Marks for Not Working in Radians?

For example, if everything in the question is given in radians, and it expects an answer in radians, can you just convert everything to degrees and then get the answer and then convert back to radians? I am with the Edexcel exam board and doing C2. An example of this type of question would be: [h="1"]C2 Edexcel January 2013 Q7.[/h]

As long as the final answer is in radians, I don't see why you'd lose any marks :smile:

Yeah it's fine as long as your answer is correct though there's a risk of losing method marks if your answer is wrong
