[Year 12 IT Apps] An ITA Exam query

[Mark Scott]

I would imagine the rule does not apply.

If the question asks for two examples (and is worth two marks) then only the first two examples would be marked. But if asked to explain or discuss then the whole response would be considered.

But I'm sure wiser heads than mine out there can offer a more informed opinion.

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] An ITA Exam query

Hi all,
As we fast approach the day of reckoning, my best student has posed this question of me.

"Hello, just a question I've been mulling over.

If a question is worth say 2 marks and says explain/give points/discuss but does not indicate that it specifically requires two points or discussions does the rule of only taking the first two pieces of information still apply?
So if I respond with three pieces of response will only the first two be counted or will all three be taken into account? If all three are then what happens if two are correct but one is wrong? Will I still get the two marks because I have stated two correct points?"

Would anyone like to help me out with their spin on it?

Cheers
