Would you lose marks for writing too small in an exam?I'm a big writer and I sometimes lost space with the lines provided so I usually write very small after the last line. Would I get marks for the points I've written which are not on the lines.

Re: Would you lose marks for writing too small in an exam?As long as you haven't gone outside the boundary of the page (the part where it says 'do not write here') you'll be fine.
Just ask for more paper next time though, it probably makes the examiner's life easier. -

Only if the examiner cannot read it.

Normally I'm good with my responses; but alas, I was typing too fast.
Oh well. -
