AQA Physics Unit 1 6 mark question guesses

I don't actually think you have got that wrong, don't think you will be penalised for it. I took a look through old mark schemes again, and I see that they choose from a selection of point you make, like another poster said they have about 8/9 points they want you to cover. I think you will get full or close to full for your answer. If you have got that one thing wrong I think you'll be penalised one mark out of the 6. How did you find the paper in general?

For the 6 mark question I put:
- volt meter for pd
- thermometer for temperature
- thermistor is a water bath
- measured by a digital thermometer
- stirred to regulate the temperature
- readings every 10 degrees
- repeated to find anomalies
- plotted on a graph of temperature against pd
- thermistor placed in room
- volt meter reading taken
- using the graph to find the corresponding temperature value

But I know that I have gotten why the other resistor was in there wrong. I said that it was to create a potential divider so a short circuit would not occur when the resistance in the thermistor lowered...
Does anybody know how much I'll get penalised for that?

Did you forget about adding ice?
from 0 degree to 100 degrees...
