Highlighting in Exams

I find it so much easier to highlight key parts of exam questions (including sometimes my written answers) and I have done this many times in my mocks without a problem. However I am unsure whether I can highlight in my actual GCSE exams (including highlighting written answers).

Thanks :smile:

Why would you want to highlight your written answers? To emphasise key words or something?

I used a highlighter for English to underline text, but that's the only time I used one.

I can't see it being a big issue, as long as you use a black pen

I wouldn't. The highlighter may black out or erase your answer when scanned.
