Write in the answer box that you've been given (that you're supposed to write your answers in) that you've used extra paper. Then if it does go missing the marker can alert someone. I've had to use extra paper for 3 exams out of 4 so far so loads of people need to use it so I wouldn't worry about it being lost :smile:

The extra paper can be scanned like all the pages on your normal exam paper. When your paper gets sent off, the extra paper isn't loose, it is attached with a treasury tag. As long as it has your name, the question number, and your candidate number in the correct places it should be fine. I used extra paper in my GCSE last year and I got a copy of my paper sent back to my school a few months later (they requested it) and the extra paper bit was scanned and put inside the normal exam booklet and therefore marked. I was nervous about it too so I asked the invigilator how it works, lol.

Good luck on your exams :smile:

Similar issue, in my first two papers I didn't specify that I continued into the extra paper but I did put the question number etc. My psych teacher said It won't get marked but she's usually saying stuff like thatz will it be checked??
