So I've just realised that I've slightly misquoted something from A Christmas Carol in my English Mock exam, I said "Scrooge liked darkness" and the actual quote was "Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it". Considering I'm trying to get a 9 in English Lit, how much would this hinder my marks? I only realised I did this today and it's a real cause for concern to me.

No it wouldn’t hinder you to paraphrase because they expect you to know the exact quote but if you did lose marks, I think you’ll lose a only a little amount of marks because the meaning is somewhat wrong and correct.

How did it affect you two years on wards did they give you less marks for misquoting because I too have done the same mistake in my current GCSEs
