Just realised that I used a 2B pencil and not a HB pencil in my maths exam like you were meant to do- I only used this pencil on the graph questions. Will I be penalised for this error, also will 2B come up in the scanning?

Oh no! the 2B pencil is "unpermitted material"- you can get DQed from all your gcses for doing that :eek:

Yes im only joking.

Are you like one of those people who gets depressed when you get 99/100 ? Lol joking , you will not get penalised , they will deliver the physical copy of your paper to an examiner.

Might not scan too well, as HB is harder, where as 2B is a soft, sketching pencil.

Wouldn't worry too much. I usually draw in pencil first, and then go over it in pen.

Skips :smile:
