grading - A student forgot to answer an exam question


A student in an undergrad class seems to have forgotten to answer the last few questions on a written essay.



This student has achieved an average of A+ so far (over the term)


The last few questions are not worth much, but is the difference between receiving an A and an A+


This student has also submitted a draft of this essay earlier in the term to get feedback (all students are allowed to do this once).


Should I give 0 because this student did not answer it, or part marks because this student knows how to answer it (as evidenced by the draft) but simply forgot?
