    How does the marking work. If u answer a question twice-once in designated space and another on rough work page and get two different answers and don't mark an x through the wrong one, do you still get full marks

    Your first one would be marked, which would be the one in the designated space. The other one would be ignored.

    Don't chance your arm thinking you will get away with this strategy. Pick an answer and put a line through the other one.

    My teacher said that they'll mark the best one?

    But I thought everything has to be marked even if on rough work page. Is it different per subject as my business teacher said everything you right no matter where on paper and you clearly state what question has to marked

    Actually, does anyone know whether asymptotes are on the course? I checked the curriculum and they're not on it? but there are past questions on it, so should I just ignore them?

    It holds for most subjects, especially where answers are in the form of a paragraph, but it doesn't allow for giving two different answers to the one Maths question.
