How it's used
Often used metaphorically to describe someone's performance or a person's character rather than just academic results. It carries a strong sense of approval or perfection. When used in this way, it functions similarly to saying someone is a perfect ten.
Examples
Do you think his performance deserves full marks?
Common mistake
Avoid using it as a verb. It is a noun, so you must pair it with a verb like 攞, 拎, or 畀 to indicate receiving or giving full marks.
