    Hi all! :)
    I have a quick Q!
    I am an Honours History and for people in history yesterday I misread the question and wrote all about a mine worker not an owner :(
    I started it off with ''Hi my name is .. I have been working in the mines since i was ...'' :(

    Will I get ANY marks?! :(

    if you wrote down fact information you could get up to as much marks as the owner essay :)

    I just found the question ''A factory/mine owner during the Industrial Revolution in Britain, c. 1850.'' in the 2005 HL Paper.

    Then it says in the marking scheme for it:
    ''If the answer is exclusively from the perspective of the factory worker,
    Max CM = 8 Max OM =0.    ''

    CM= Facts
    OM= Over all mark, (the examiners judgement on it)

    Don't know if thats any help.. :confused::)

    unfortunately this means that if you did it on a factory worker you can only get 8 points out of 20 :(

    Yes, you have to answer the question asked to get full marks.

    Don't worry about it OP - not the end of the world.

    Try not to worry. I only got 3 out of 20 marks, in one of the people in history on the pre exam. Still managed to get a B tho. :D

    Don't worry about it.

    Take it as a learning-curve for your LC. As Spurious said, you need to answer the question asked to get full marks.
