forgot to write the question number in my answer booklet in an exam!.... :O

Ok so in my exam the other day I had to use a second answer booklet to finish my answer to the last question BUT I forgot to write in the second booklet what the question number was. SO my question is, will they just scan in the second booklet and the examiner will just assume ( correctly ) that it is an extention of my last answer. OR will they not scan in it at all and the examiner will never know there was a second booklet and just assume that I ran out of time. I know this is a pretty stupid question but it's funny how things like this prey on your mind.
( exam board is OCR btw ).
THANKS.

I didn't put any numbers on my questions for my A2 Eng Lit exam in January (completely forgot!), but it didn't make any difference - the markers will know which questions your writing about :wink:

hello. Can anyone who's had this happen to them say how it's turned out? I just did my business exam and i ran out of space for the 12 marker and used a new booklet (as i already used all the additional pages at the back of the first one). However, i too forgot to write the question number...
