Req return grading (Magician or any graders, appreciate your input)

CFA Level III Portfolio Management

Just wondering if graders will follow through on the steps on the req return questions for marks, despite the final answer being incorrect.

Using Q6a on the 2017 exam as an example, I mistakenly adjusted the living expenses for two years of inflation instead of one (got thrown off by the wording). Other than that, everything else was by the marking key (well the final answer was ofc incorrect).

Would the graders go through the steps I written down, and say give me a 6/8, 1 mark deducted on the living exp mistake and another mark taken on the final answer?

Yes, you’ll get partial marks if you complete some of the correct steps, even if your final answer is incorrect.
