And examiners check your scripts strictly with the mark scheme. So if your answer has points from the mark scheme, u get marks for the points which match only.

Not necessarily, if you've got other relevant, explained points, you will gain marks..

Yes, they mainly look for key words in your answer.
And that calculator is supposed to be allowed. When I gave my O levels, they didnt even check what my calculator looked like.
