Last year we discussed whether examiners continued to read an answer beyond the number of items asked for in the question.<br><br>I thought they would not, but we have been reassured that they will consider extra writing.<br>
<br>I just found where my original opinion came from! In the 2003 IPM Examiner's report, which said:<br><br>"<font color="#FF0000">When a question indicates how many reasons or responses are required (e.g. ‘State <strong>two</strong> reasons ...’) , you need to provide what is requested. e.g. If you provided more than (for example) <strong>two</strong> reasons, the exam assessors only marked the first <strong>two</strong> reasons provided."<br>
