I recently sat an exam, where I needed to use an extra booklet. The question had a number and a letter. So i put them in. Then i saw that you needed two numbers. So i crossed it out.

At the end I asked the invigilator what should I put. And he said it doesn't matter? I put in the letter and number in the end, but they're really small?

My question is, how do they mark extra booklets? Will they make sure they mark the whole question answer, or do they just ignore things you don't know. The exam board is AQA - AS levels.

I was with you up until the second to last sentence:Will they make sure they mark the whole question answer, or do they just ignore things you don't know.

Not sure what you mean by that, but they will scan the booklet in (its the pink ones right? I've had to use two of them) just the same as the paper and the examiner will see it and mark everything on the booklets as well

And I didn't even look at what you were meant to put in those two number boxes, I put the number of the question in the left one, and the letter of the question in the other.

By the sounds of it you did this too? Even if its not what we were "meant" to do, they scan the whole thing in anyway so as long as the examiner can see what question it is in some shape or form, it won't matter

I mean that the examiner doesn't know?

It's written very small though? Does one examiner mark all questions?

The examiner doesn't know what? That you have an extra booklet? Yes, they will see it all and yes one examiner marks your whole paper.

Also if its written small, it doesn't matter if you can still read it. If you can't, they simply won't know what question it is so don't know what they do then.

I don't think it matters as long as its legible...

It is fairly small, its not even difficult to work out which question it is. The sentence continuous as it would normally. I'll just have to wait and see i suppose.

Thanks for your help.
