Hello everyone!
I just came back from my STPM mathematics examination.
I made a blunder in the first sub question of a whole array of ones following it.
If I got that first question wrong, but my technique is right for all the other ones(though they are now substituted with the wrong value), will I be pinnalised throughout? Or only for that question?

Thanks!

PS: I know it won't help me now. But u know..

Edit : spelling error. Penalised

Sorry,

but yes you'll be penalised throughout. Whatever steps, even if they are right, after your first mistakes will not be awarded any marks.

This is STPM. Sorry.

If not mistaken, for Physics paper, error carrying forward is possible. You will rewarded marks for your steps, but will not get marks for final answer.

But Maths T is not possible, because maths emphasizes accuracy of answers.

Math T also give marks for error carrying as long as the steps are correct

Just don't suddenly change to a correct answer in your next question from which you don't show it in your working which is a different (probably wrong) answer from your last question...
