when exam papers are marked, that the examiner first looks to see if the answer is right; and if so, gives full marks?
And that they only look at the candidate's working in detail if the final answer is wrong, and they need to see where else they can award marks, or if the mark scheme specifies that a certain part of working is needed?
When an examiner has hundreds of papers to mark, do they take the view that it's unlikely to get the right answer by fluke, so they only look in detail at the working without a correct final answer?
