jess1ca Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) I've been doing a few Bio SL exams and for some questions, I realize that my answers (what I have been taught/what is in the textbook) are completely different from the answers in the markscheme. Aka, different meaning, but still the correct answer. Also, the markscheme answers for the same question sometimes change from year to year. So my question is, if my answer is still correct but different from the markscheme, do I still get marks for it?Another question, if I write exactly what the markscheme says, without extra detail, do I get the mark? Or is the markscheme just a guide for the examiner-- because some MS answers aren't detailed at all... my notes are about 5 times longer!

Peanut Butter Jelly Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 If it has the same meaning you get the mark. Underlined words are essential for the mark though. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
