So yes, it’s quite possible 👍
I agree with this. While scoring my students on subjective questions, I always use rubrics to align scores. But when there is no definite answer, we are told there is ALWAYS a scope of improvement, even if it's 1%. So when I used to give out of scores to one-two students in my class, my senior professor explained it to me how the scoring works in academics.
Plus what used to really piss me off the most was initially, whenever I scored students based on their assignments scores in their marksheet were quite different. I can't do anything, I was told about some crappy concept of normalizing it.
So, I doubt that if a student is expected to write conceptual answers, they can get 100%. Economics, though factual subject, could have scope of improvement - they might cut 1-2 points for grammar if they can't for anything else. 😆
