Ripple, broad

Hi,

1) “When you make a calculation error at the beginning of a matrix exercise, it’ll ripplle through the rest of your steps and you won’t get a correct answer.”

Could ‘ripple through’ be used like that and are there any alternatives?

2) “The exam is quite broad in content.” - you have to go through a lot of materials because the content is extensive

“The exam is quite broad in scope.”

I’m not sure what the difference between these two is.

Thank you.

” Could ‘ripple through’ be used like that and are there any alternatives? I think "ripple" might even be usual there. It is a good choice.
