Help forgot to put a cross in box

I sat the Edexcel A level geography paper 1 yesterday, and I forgot to put a cross in the box to say I was answering the coasts question instead of glaciation, will they still mark my answers??
Stressing about this!

I think they can figure out which question you answered depending on your response so don't worry! If it's on the page they will mark it :smile:

Someone told me that they won't scan the question if there's no cross, I don't know if that's true though it seems kind of unfair :frown:

I don't think that's true, I've never heard about it before? Maybe ask your geography teacher to double-check :smile:

I just messaged Pearson and they said as long as you make it clear which section you did they will mark it! Do not panic! Also remember humans(teachers) are marking it so they want you to do well!
