I was wondering about this:

On a list type question, what happens if you include all the correct answers but also include an incorrect answer. Usually not a big deal, but what if that incorrect answer is grossly incorrect, as if to contradict one of the correct ones. For example, if you're listing things correlated with higher lapses and you list males and females !

Do you get full credit or is a little deducted ?

list reasons for higher lapses

1. Premium mode M>A
2. increase of premium
3. Males, Females
4. duration (1st yr>renwal)
5. Age (old qw less than young qw)
6. Mode - M0. less than Ann.

You would get 0 credit for # 3, but not neg credit. # 6 would cancel #1

Incorrect sentence = 0 pts
Two contradictory answers = 0 pts


You never get penalized, ever. Write as much as you can; I mean that, and good luck!
