Doodling on my hand during an exam

If I were to doodle on my hand during my exam, could I get disqualified, even if the drawing is completely unrelated to the exam? would I be able to doodle on my paper?
Can't you just... you know... not?

Don't worry about such things at this point. Rather it would be easier to just not do that.

Does that mean you're really good or really bad?

It's either one of the two, could be really good that the questions weren't a struggle to do, or really bad if you just skimmed through them all and just call it for the day.
I've doodled on my hands notes during the exam, invigilators didn't seem to care but at the same time just doodle on the corner of the page, I know exams can be stressful and doodling can help relieve it, especially giving yourself a small break during an exam can help you maybe find a new train of thought for a question. Shame people replying didn't have the ability to unburrow their heads out their ass to give an actual answer.

Don't draw on your hand (or any other part of your body) in case it gets misinterpreted as an attempt to cheat both in that exam and any future exams when the ink doesn't wash out completely :smile:
Also don't doodle on your answer sheets in case it gets in the way of your actual answer. If you have spare paper or a separate question/information sheet then I think they should be safe to be drawn on

Brah why you be drawing in the exam tho? Like I know people have artistic talent, but surely you can keep it at bay for like 2 hours :K:

You should be disqualified
It's an incredibly stupid waste of time. You should be using every second you have during an exam. If you finish early then go through and check your work.

Actually if you're doing the exams, most likely you're doing your GCSEs or A-levels (or if AS, there's a chance your college is still letting you go early), so you finish earlier than the rest. Usually this would be somewhere during last week of June, for this year, the latest/last exam is on 27th June. After this point, you have a lot more than 6 weeks of summer holiday.
