2 If 2 stage test for one compound, award no marks for that compound, eg no mark for ROH or RX to alkene then Br2 test.
If reagent is wrong or missing, no mark for that test;; if wrong but close/incomplete, lose reagent mark but can award for correct observation. In each
test, penalise each example of wrong chemistry, eg AgCl2
