for example in questions such as find the two words which dont go with the other three if they get one correct and the other wrong do they score 1/2 or 0 ?

Dear Chelmsford Dad

My tutored children often ask this, they get an emphatic NO.

I was wondering this too. However, if you think about it, the question is to find a PAIR, so presumably only a PAIR will do. I never give DS credit for getting one.
