Wrote a silly message to the examiner. Worried I'll get marked down.
Ok so I had my AS Sociology Unit 2 exam today, and I finished about 15 minutes before the time was up. I decided it would be funny to write a silly message to the examiner. I drew a line across the page underneath my last answer so it wouldn't be mistaken for part of that, and I wrote:
"Dear examiner,
Please do not mark this as part of a question. I have drawn a line through it like we were told to do if we made a mistake. I'd just like to say thankyou for taking the time to mark my paper. I really appreciate it! Yours sincerely, *my name*
P.S. I love your shoes
P.P.S. Sorry about my handwriting"
I drew a line through it so it wouldn't get marked as part of the last question as that is what we are told to do if we make a mistake. At the time I thought it was a really witty thing to do, but now I'm so nervous that I might get marked down because of it! Does anyone have any idea what AQA's rules are about this? I'm really panicking, I know it probably won't affect my grade, but if it's going to then could someone let me know.

Well it can be sometimes be regarded as defacement of an examination paper in the harshest of circumstances.
But it's done now, it can't be rectified. Try not to worry.
Why didn't you spend the time looking over your answer?

I doubt it's bad enough to be counted as defacement. It was only writing with a single line drawn through it. And I did, I wrote the message after.
Doesn't sound to bad to be honest. If the person who marks your paper has any common sense they won't care.

How do you know what the examiners shoes are like? They could be wearing crocs while they mark your paper 
Lol yeah that was the point
My teacher has marked before and i asked her what would happend if we were to write a note to the examiner. She said it does not really effect the grades at all. She's had all sorts of comments. And it doesnt make a difference. I had the exact same exam today and wrote a little note about my terrible handwriting!

if you had written something really offensive then worry but you gave a mere compliment!Original post by TheBitchOf96

Oh, right.
Agh, that's really bad. The very second you write your name or candidate number on the paper, the examiners have to award that answer 0. I am so, so sorry
