Yes.

It would help if you provided the question because it takes a while for me to find it.

>From what I understand you need to include disadvantages and advantages of both which would probably take up 3 marks maybe with the initial explanation of each memory allocation process being worth 2 marks? Is that a good way to think about it?

Usually, 1 mark is assigned to doing "1 thing". E.g. 1 mark for stating advantage. 1 mark for stating disadvantage. 2 marks for describing each process. So, yes, I would say you are thinking well. Keep thinking!
