This is about my friend who did IT exam few days ago, well he seems to have forgotten to check the number of pages in his paper, only then after the exam had finished that he realized 2 pages worth 20 marks were missing from his paper which is out of (120) he got approximately 70 so will his mark be 70/100? or they wont forgive him and his mark will be 70/120?
Sorry for asking this here but Im new and I didnt find a place to post it..

Just one thing, in M/J 2008 paper 4 question part d (ii), I first found i to be x+2n+2. I read the question again and it said find in terms of x and n. So I spent another half an hour trying to remove 2 from the equation. In the end, I gave up and checked in the mark scheme to find out that my initial answer was correct. So what exactly is meant by finding something in terms of something. I mean does it mean ONLY x and n here? If it does, I'm going to sue CIE.....
Vin:
ur talking about Q2 right ?
see NOT necessarily it has to be ONLY x and n .. if u hav solved 2 c)iii) the answer deduced is y=20x + 5 and not jus y=x u getting my point .. ?? be confidant while solving such sums and solve them twice so that u r sure of it .. By the way d ii) is jus factorisation right ? so r u talking abt c)iii) ??
$H00t!N& $t@r:
hey hw did you get 20x+5 ??? for some reason im getting 4x+5... can you explain??
