hmm...good question i've always wondered y they have that
Edexcel is apparently one of the worst exam boards for getting marks squiddled up...so u end up getting an A when your only expected a D and vice versa...though i'm sure not many ppl would complain about the first scenario......... 
my friend told me this when I said that i was doing maths with them...didn't rle inspire confidence tbh!!

ive done the whole of both papers in pencil? Does that matter?
On a somewhat related note: for my maths exam today, I used some additional paper for working out on one of the questions. I slipped this sheet in between the pages where the question was which I had needed the working out paper for. I did specify which question the working out was for and, just in case, I included my centre and candidate numbers on the spare paper. Will this be scanned in and marked, marked in an alternative way, or will it remain unmarked... ?
I know WJEC marks papers by hand because we have had a look at some actual examples that were sent back to the school for english, and it had the examiners marking on the paper in red!

It will just be given to the examiner along with the paper. You have provided enough details, there is little chance of it getting muddled up
.Howcome you didnt fasten the Additional Answer sheet to your paper using a treasury clip thing Princess?

It depends on the exam and the exam board. Often your original papers will be sent off to examiners, and a copy kept by the board. In Maths the examiner marks the original. In fact it's only Edexcel science which I know is marked online .
.Wrong. Maths is marked online. My dad is a principal examiner and marks maths papers on his computer - using a special program.
edexcel exams are scanned and sent for online marking to save on postage costs. hence u will notice bar codes on the bottom of pages of the newer edexcel exam papers e.g. maths, geography. my teacher has warned us to write within the box for each question, anything outside will not get scanned and therefore will not be marked.
if that is the case, the answer is "referred" - if it would have made a difference in the grade, the exam paper is looked up and the question is marked on the exam paper (or something along those lines......i know it gets "referred" anyway....and something like that happens - - not sure here)
Oh right Princess - the norm is in our school if you get an extra sheet you are given a tag - i used an extra page and i included it.
And with the barcodes - all the OCR ones so far that I have done now have them so do you think they are doing the same thing this year?
