Forgot to write question number in IB exam

After I finish my Chinese A exam, I realise that I only wrote my question number on the cover sheet (the page with candidate details etc), but I did not have it on the margin of the answer sheet.

Then, I went back to the DP coordinator and asked for help, she just told me that it's not a big deal because there was only 1 question that I have to answer and it's on the cover page, my answer can still be sent to an examiner who marks that question.

I'm still quite worried, as I was told before the exam that not writing the question number would make my grades become 0. Does anyone have a similar problem or have experience in the previous exam that can answer me?

The co-ordinator was correct. the examiners will be very familiar with the exam and know which question you are trying to answer. Dont worry they will spot it easily and as you say you have even written it on the cover. it will be fine.
