    Hi guys,

    Just wondering wondering can I use any method I like for a question in the exam as long as I get the correct answer? I looked at the marking schemes and most of the questions use 1 method despite other methods possible

    Thanks!

    Note the following at the start of the schemes:
    "In the case of marking schemes that include model solutions or answers, it should be noted that these are not intended to be exhaustive. Variations and alternatives may also be acceptable. Examiners must consider all answers on their merits, and will have consulted with their Advising Examiners when in doubt."
