40 years ago I had to fight with an examiner about giving a 4 unit complex number answer to a 3 unit question. They had marked it wrong because in the 3 unit course complex numbers were not covered and the "proper" answer was there was no solution.

I won eventually, got the extra marks. It made no difference to the results. I'd already topped the school.
