Not sure if my answers are getting marked

For my GCSEs, especially PE and BIO, im scared that they might not mark my answer which are below the dotted lines where you normally answer the question. I made sure not to write where it said do not write.

Don't worry about it, they mark things they see and are relevant to the question. When I did my A-levels, we used to draw little diagrams around the questions for chemistry and we were told they mark them as well since it is a way of presenting parts of the answer even if we were not asked to draw one.
Providing it's within the outside box they will look at it. The pages are scanned so anything outside of that they probably won't see.

Within the one on the outside of the page, yes. If you need more space you should be able to ask for extra paper, but the number of lines given is how much they expect you to write so you don't really want to waste time going over that.
