SQA important question

Does it matter if you skip 3 questions for example question 8 9 and 10 and do 11 and 12 and then do those earlier questions? I fear that because I didn't follow the order of the questions they will not count
Thanks

In my experience so long as you clearly number the question you can do any order. Just don't skip to question 8 and write that its question 1 for example. Always write clearly the question. I often skipped and did questions in random orders and never was penalised so long as it clearly states the question beside it.

Thanks and do you think that in a combined question with 2 sections a) and b) I completed both sections but only wrote I was doing a) will I get full marks for both a) and b) or only the marks for the a) section

dont worry the order doesnt matter if you do it rarely for few question because sqa follow positive marking so my advice is dont stress about the order just make sure you write the question number and a kind note stating to check the back of the paper where you wrote the answer. is that sound good my man hopefully i eased your anxiety
