Carry-On Errors (1 Viewer)

[academic_reaper]

In maths CE, if you lose all marks on the first part because your equation was wrong, but the next part depends on that equation, would you still be able to get full marks on the second part, or would you be penalised again?

Is this the same for other subjects too, like chemistry?

I mean in my prelim I got 0 for the first question but then full marks on the second one cause of carry forward errors. So I’d assume the hsc is the same

depends on the fucking marker really. the fucking marker might be retarded and not give a shit about doing their job correctly and wont be bothered to check if u did the right method with ur values so will just give a 1 or 0.

the markers of science subjects are genuniely retarded. in maths im pretty sure they care, but not science

Tru. Unless it's entirely flawless they won't give u shi. That's why a 75 raw mark in physics scales up to like 92.

actually a 75 would be like an 86 hsc mark in the year 2024

My Chemistry teacher was saying that generally error carried forward is applicable in chemistry, unless your error makes you miss out on crucial steps in the calculations that they were looking for.

For example if your error means you don’t have to do an equilibrium ICE table, but that’s what the aim of the question was, you will still get some marks but lose more than one. Which makes sense in my opinion.

Also if it’s a question that requires to use your previous answer (e.g. Use your answer in part A to ….) and you didn’t find anything in part A, you can make up any number or even use a variable (like X) and go through all calculations as you would normally. But make sure to write clearly if that’s what you’re doing. You ideally wouldn’t lose any marks here cause they can’t penalise twice (once for the previous question and then again for this question)

But this is only for chemistry, and take this with a grain of salt cause you never know.
