7 with a line - Will my paper be scanned properly?

I wrote the 7 with a line in the centre number for some of my papers and some i wrote without it. Will this get scanned in as a 7? What if the exam board thinks someone else took the exam and I was cheating? About 4 or 5 of my papers do not have the lined 7, will I only get those marks?

7 with a line is a recognised way of writing it. You will be fine.

But because I wrote it without a line in some of my exams, will the exam boards think someone else took it?

Not a chance. They have millions of scripts to mark and will not notice.
