Own figure rule apply to wrong months?

DDavid24d ago

In a mock exam question (Novara Co) I accidentally counted 5 months instead of 4 and that affected nearly all the rest of the calculations in that question from basis to gain etc.

My question is: does the "own rule" figure apply in this case, or would I lose the marks for every calculation in which this error appeared?

The marks in the real exam are very much for the approach, so although you would obviously not get full marks you would still get most of the marks if your approach otherwise was correct.
