In the Junior Cert Geography exam do you lose marks for answering both parts of an either/or question?

Question

in short questions,not long

Answer 1

nope...and im posative because im sitting it 2morro and my mum's a geography teacher...if you have time do both but usually theirs only 1 that you have studied ie.rivers or the work of moving ice etc.

good luck!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

No.

Those types of question are for mainly things like glacial erosion or sea erosion which most teachers only do one.

I would do both in case the one i studied turned out too hard.

P.S. Good luck on Friday.

I'll be doing it too.

Answer 3

Yes - they would mark you down for not reading the question properly

Answer 4

no, theyll probably just mark the first question they read and disregard the second one completely because they have so many to mark they just wont be bothered.

unless your lucky, theyll read both answers and youll get the best mark.

Answer 5

I would have thought so, do as they ask and no more.

Answer 6

NO, but really all your doing is wasting your time, (and the examiners).  The exam is set so the full time allocation should be used to answer the required questions correctly.  So, do yourself a favour and answer whats asked of you, and give yourself the allocated time to answer as best you can.

Good luck in the exams

Answer 7

no... they will give you the marks for the better answered question

Answer 8

hey, im also doing the junior cert geography tomoz !!

no they dont mark you dwn the junior cert is marked to give you the best marks possible (according to all my teachers)

my geogpraphy teacher told us to answer the two questions for 1 or 2 lyk cause if one is wrong at least we'll have the other right. and in the long questions it says do 3 but if you have time do another cause theyl do your final marking on your best 3

good luck xxxxx
