consequential marking

Hi, If someone could explain how the examiner marks consequentially since my teacher doesn't seem to know.
Most importantly if I dont know the answer to a question, can I move on to the next part and say let for example g'(x)=x^2+4 or something realistic and within the constraints of the question to prove I can still complete the other sections of the paper. Thankyou- I'm asking as I'm finding time a huge problem

Consequential marks are awarded for using a correct method or working out, yet still getting the wrong answer. This could be due to using an incorrect value from a prior question or a calculator error. You won't get full marks obviously but it takes less pressure off questions that involve subsequent marks.
