6-marker questions

Hello, any science examiner here?

I just did my WJEC chemistry unit 1 exam today. I have a question - for my 6 marker question, (QER) I didn’t miss a line nor did I space it out correctly or structure it right. I just wrote it like an essay - in my biology exam too, I had all the knowledge as well.

Will the examiner deduct my marks and cap it at a lower mark if I didn’t organise my response correctly? I really don’t want to make the same mistake for my physics exam either.

(I also wrote for my chemistry paper - sorry for not spacing it out correctly and used a ruler to try and underline to ‘space’ it out right).

Thank you!

hey sorry that no ones gotten back to you im not an exanimer but if you go have a look at any mark scheme for a past paper it should say wether or not they mark for structure - I seem to remember when I did my GCSEs it didn't matter how you structured it but I might be wrong
