Re: I did all my exams in blue inkShe didn't NOT follow the instructions. She just didn't see it. A silly mistake I admit, but no need to ridicule her for it.(Original post by shezshez)
I expect people who are doing some of the most important exams of their lives to follow the instructions. Jerk. -

Re: I did all my exams in blue inkEveryone makes a mistake. Most people like to share their mistakes so others don't make them mistake.(Original post by shezshez)
Oh I probably have, you're right. (Yeah I detected your sarcasm) but when I acknowledge I make a mistake that is entirely my fault I don't bitchfit on TSR.
I'd like to think I can follow the simplest of instructions. -

To be fair, you should read the instructions, if you're not capable of reading and comprehending the simplest of instructions, it's probably better that your exam won't be marked.

Re: I did all my exams in blue inkMy economics teacher told me not to draw diagrams in pencil and draw in black pen. It scans better.(Original post by hannah1994)
This has worried me now! What about pencil diagrams will they scan in? -

Re: I did all my exams in blue inkNo, they scan it in to give them a digital copy of what you wrote then send that to the people marking them(Original post by Felchingman)
Wtf is scanning? Is it a computer that corrects your paper? -

What exam was it?(Original post by EmmaJane_)
I never realised you were only supposed to write in black.
What's gonna happen? I'm doing A-levels by the way.
For my ISAs I got told to redo the TPF forms but for the exams I was just told to leave it

If you're used to writing in blue ink for like 7 hours a day and you don't read the front cover you're hardly going to notice that you're writing in the wrong colour. Surely it makes sense because she was focusing on the exam itself not some comment on the front which doesn't actually help her grade or exam....(Original post by TheStudent.)
Even though it always says on the front page to "Write in black ink".

Re: I did all my exams in blue inkI find the most important tips are usually written on the first page. Also before every exam, the invigilator HAS to read out all the instructions, so unless she just decided to day dream while the invigilator was talking, then its completely her fault.(Original post by Kieran293)

She's an A level student. It really really doesn't make sense.
Plus i think being used to writing in a certain colour bears no relevance to being oblivious to a well known fact.
Sorry. -

I forgot about the invigilator, fair enough. Yeah well I've stacked up on black ink now :')(Original post by TheStudent.)

Re: I did all my exams in blue inkThe instructions were never read out for any of my exams, they never are at my school.(Original post by TheStudent.)
