I forgot my pen in my poetry/prose exam so I used my highlighter.

Do you think they would give me 0 or would they be able to make an exception?

Highlighters are not to be used in answers. It says so on the front page.

Why didnt you have a reserve pen?

Why didnt you ask the invigilators for a pen before or during the exam?

Probably a 0 because they don't mark the actual paper just actual scan of it
How can anything you write in highlighter can even be legible? :confused:

thats definately a 0. how did you not come with a second pen or a pen at all.
Why did you not ask for a pen? An invigilator would have found you a spare.

'would they make an exception' is irrelevant because they scan the paper and it will look like a blank piece of paper, maybe with very light writing, but too light to be legible. So they simply won't be able to read it and therefore can't mark it.

you might need to do a re-sit

Nobody told me that I had an exam :/
If they can't scan it into a computer then I heard they send out the physical paper itself to mark. So it should be fine
u should have asked for a pen.....but what is done is done

as I'm sure others have said, the processing centre will realise when scanning it in and they will send it out to be marked personally instead. Try not to worry. it's not that bad my English teacher told me that one time he saw a whole English paper written in Mandarin and they still had to try and mark it.
