Forgot to put name on extra sheet exam paper

14

I did my history gcse this morning and I think I forgot to write my name on the extra sheet of paper. But I did attach it to the paper with a tag. Will it still be marked? I did write “continued” on the paper I did as well so would this help?? Thanks

If it's tagged they will probably match it up. I am surprised though that the invigilator didn't check and make sure you put down your details...

Your exams staff will double check everything before they send it off to the examiners. They don't just throw it in an envelope and stick it in the post. They have probably added your name if it was missing. Did you add your centre and candidate number? This would enable the examiners to identify it as yours even without your name. Otherwise there is a tiny chance that the error might be missed and if your extra sheet becomes disconnected from your main paper then it might not be possible to reconnect the two.

I didn’t add anything to the extra sheet I completely forgot but it was attached to the main paper with a tag

If you tagged it to it, it will be fine. The exams office may fill it in for you anyway when they are checking the papers or they might just leave it as it is because it is attached to your paper which has your name, candidate number and centre number on it. It's very unlikely that it will just be lost, especially as you put "continued" on it, so the examiner marking your paper will query it if there doesn't seem to be another page attached with it.

I just wanted to ask, did it still get marked eventually ? I made the same mistake this year
