If you leave tear marks in your papers do they give more marks?

If you leave a trail of your tears on your exam papers will the examiner give you sympathy marks?

They don't ;_:
Probably wouldn't be noticeable on the scan.

I wish it was I literally rubbed my eyes and wiped the water on some pages of my exams I tried my best to give it a runny texture so I get sympathy marks. Although I made sure it didnt obstruct my answers or was too messy

No, they will mark you down. It happened to a friend of mine, she got 46/60 on her physics last year, but she cried on it and they reduced it to 23/60.

Last year it was 50% mark reduction, I hear that this year it is 75% or possibly disqualification.

The examiners are heartless, if they see any sign of weakness - boom, instant E grade

I placed them ever so discretely in the corner far away from the questions but not so much that it seemed forced..
I don't think sympathy marks exist lmao but this thread gave me a good laugh

Sympathy marks don't exist and if there are smudges on your paper then they might think that you spat all over your paper.
