English Literature Exams

I've answered all the questions, but what I've never heard of before was to write the section and title of it and question number before doing it? I'm happy with my answers but should I be worried? I only wrote the question numbers. Also, when people were discussing about what order to do lit 2 questions I assumed it'd be ok for me to do poetry first because that's what my friend was going to do, so I did that first without leaving any blank pages for the inspector calls question which I did after. then I did unseen. I've never been told about this or even heard it once before until recently? is there anything I can do? I'm very worried.

Don't be worried at all. The examiner marking the paper will have the question paper that you did and will be able to see the questions you have answered. It also does not matter what order to tackle them in - the examiner will be able to realise that you are writing about poetry!!! The worse case scenario is that the examiner will be a bit confused but I am 100% your answers will be marked. Dont worry.

Hi dw at all !!! I'm sure it'll be fine :smile:
I'm in a similar situation , I wrote the question number in the actual lined writing box next to my answer instead of the boxes in the left hand margin where ur supposed to. Will it still be marked? 😬😬 I did this for both papers for all questions. I'm assuming a lot of people do this out of force of habit . I know it's a stupid question.

I'm pretty sure that's the area for examiners to mark so they should see it, and I'd assume from reading a bit of the start of the question they'd know what question it was, so hopefully it'll all be good!!
