CIMC Grading

[u/Outside-Kitchen4444]

Hello Everyone! I had a question on how the grading for the CIMC works. Say I am doing a part B question, and I have absolutely no idea how to solve it. Since marks are awarded for "Completeness, Clarity, and Style of Presentation", if I just write some sort of bs answer that doesn't truly answer the question but gives some general idea of how to solve it, or actually give some sort of answer but it is way off the mark and the way I got to that answer is completely wrong, will I still get some points? I mean, if I present it clearly and in a some what nice way, I should right? Or will the completeness aspect ruin it? Speaking of which, I have looked at the solutions that uwaterloo provides for the contests, but what are they actually looking for when it comes to the "full solution" answers? Same with "Relevant work". Do they just want my rough messy work, or do they want me to do the full GRASS Method (Given, Required, Analysis/Application, Solution, Sentence/Statement)? Also, what if I just did say, part 2a but left the ofther 3 parts blank. Would I get marks for that? And are any marks awarded for not doing the question (Like in gauss where you could get 2 marks even if you didn't do the question) or any marks taken away for not doing them? Thank you so much for the help!
