GCSE exam lines

In all of my non essay exams (science, computer science), if I run out of room on the 3-5 lines given by AQA and I only need to complete a few words more, instead of asking for extra paper, I would neatly write the words-sentence below the designated lines. Will this still count as my answer and be marked? I'm now worried that these words will not count in marking as they are not on the designated lines given by AQA.

if its not in the 'do not write here' box, you should be okay. the concern is if it will be scanned in or not so as long as its within those boundaries, it should be fine

you can use the lines at the back of papers because they're designated to be extra space so as long as you've indicated which question the answer is in relation to, you will be okay. its only if you've used these lines then you are supposed to ask for extra paper
