    Made a mistake on exam front cover.
    When I was writing in my details on the front of the exam (name, school, etc...) I messed up while writing my Scottish Candidate Number. I attempted to correct the mistake, but some of the numbers are difficult to read. Will the fact that my SCN isn't overly clear make my exam nullified? Or will the SQA be able to figure it out by the fact that they have my name and details?

    Sorry, this isn't really an important problem in the whole scheme of things it's just been worrying me the past few days...

    I imagine they'll have lists to check who it is, instead of going "ah well" and binning it. They will be able to work it out. Don't worry about it:P

    You'll be fine They'll be able to work out who you are by your name and centre anyway, and if the SCN looks like it's supposed to be yours then they'll know it's you, don't worry about it.

    The SQA take a common sense approach to such discrepancies.
