    hi gromit,

    can you advise on the marking scheme used by the p3 examiner? for 2007 to 2008, the questions were sort of 2 marks per point. But looking at the marking scheme beyond that, starting from 2009 till date, it has been 1mark 1point.

    So during 2008 and before, a 20 mark pestel questions would require us to have 10 elaborated and developed points. For 2009 and onwards, we would have to find 20 points for a 20mark question? Is this the case now?

    Lastly, what kind of answer(feasible to write in exam with time constraints) would constitute of a point? please advise. If possible could you show us 1 example of an answer that would get a mark, and a bad example that would not. If i may be more specific, may i refer you to the dec 09 Q1a ABCL on 5 forces. Thank you.
