General Calculation Question (1 Viewer)

[Samarth shah]

So in hsc exams like phys and chem do you always have to substitute values into your equation for example if you found a value that had a symbol could you just put that symbol during working out instead of having to write it especially if its unrounded and long and also for some questions can you solve the answer in terms of the data sheet constants then without writing out those values on paper evaluate the answer on the calculator and just write the final answer?

Could you provide an example question, because I'm a bit unsure on what you're specifically asking?

Show the substitutions and full working. If you put in the wrong value how will the marker know what mistake you have made such as a substitution or calculator error.
