Copying errors... (1 Viewer)

[Zeppelin]

I just looked at the paper again, and realised to my utter dismay thatthe reason one of my answers was out was because I made a copying error. In particular, I misread 17 million for 19 million. Now, all my calculations for 19 million were correct. As far as I can see, I haven't made the question any easier. As I understand it, as long as you show you know what you're doing, and you don't make the question easier, you should still get full marks, right?

you might lose one mark, but no more than that, if your answer is correct for the value you used

yeah
they apparently dont take away marks for "transcript" errors, as long as the question isnt easier.

Doesn't that count as carryover? No, it probably doesn't...

Its not a reading test, thus, they probably wont deduct for transcribing errors, as long as you made clear that you are using 19 million instead of 17... somewhere in your first line.
