    In my metal work day exam I had messed up real badly, I had simply ran out of time and due to my stupidness I payed more attention on polishing it then checking if it fits all perfect together.
    At the last 5 minutes after polishing and cleaning it all up I assembled it, after noticing one of the slots are a bit too small:mad:
    Due to this my piece did not function properly as it was stuck
    How much marks would I lose since the project is worth 37.5%
    Would I Atleast get 20% :confused:
    Thanks

    I don't know, sorry :/ Mine wasn't polished at all, but I got it to work in the last minute while the examiner threw on her coat.

    I finished mine and it was somewhat polished. Out of the 37.5, I imagine you would lose about 5-10% for function! If your other pieces were well made and polished, you could still easily get 30%+

    I thought it was very easy, finish and function were decent but accuracy was a little off.

    Yeah I thought it was easy as well but I just ran out of time
    How much marks do you think I will lose my whole project is polished but does not function and it is assembled but it is not one of the best in over all

    Not an awful lot, there's still the project and written test so you're sorted.
