Re: Physics Paper 6 Measuring errors Answeer please

I remember when I was looking at the Markscheme , of another practical paper it said +-1 cm , or mm , stuff like that .. I doubt it is a problem to be honest ... but I am new to IGCSE so that concerns me as well.

will there is error limits like +- 0.5 for small number and and +- for larger number accorind to the question given
but M/J 2009 marking didnt have any error limits that why i asked
as it is unfair to study all the year then loss marks for suchj questions.
thanks for you respond

How many siginificant figures does it mention? if it is 2 then you lost a mark , if it is 1 , then have no worries , if none at all ... I doubt they would do anything to it.

Oh , I am too lazy to open the Mark Scheme... , cheer up ... If you Approximate the answer , 4.1 will be 4.0 , Nothing wrong in it ... unless there is decimal and it will be used in an equation.

don't matter with the mark scheme...**** the mark scheme...mark scheme is just a document made for the teachers not for us..
that's not how our papers are corrected at cambridge.
