[Year 12 IT Apps] Returning to an old thread

[Mark KELLY]

Last year we discussed whether examiners continued to read an answer beyond
the number of items asked for in the question.

I thought they would not, but we have been reassured that they will
consider extra writing.

I just found where my original opinion came from!  In the 2003 IPM
Examiner's report, which said:

"When a question indicates how many reasons or responses are required (e.g.
‘State *two* reasons ...’) , you need to provide what is requested. e.g. If
you provided more than (for example) *two* reasons, the exam assessors only
marked the first *two* reasons provided."

I had a feeling I read it somewhere!
