Hey all.
so, i re-wrote all of question 23 coz i ended up crossing a whole page out and it just looked unreadable, so i got a new booklet, but i had to tie the one that i stuffed up onto the re-do. It seems silly to me because i didnt want them to mark any of that! but i guess its because they have to know how many booklets everyone used for numbers or something..

My working always ends up beign messy, so thats why i had to re write question 23, just silly mistakes and such.

Has anyone else had this happen? why do you think i had to hand in my other booklet aswell?

Also, I underlined the actual answer to each question, ive done this since year 7, because i always end up making my working messy and such, like i said, so i think its easier for the markers to find the answer, even if they do need to see the working. Does anyone else do this?
Just wondering. i mean, whos working is actually neat?? i didnt even stay in a straight line for my working. sheesh! (though i AM left handed :rolleyes: )

Mine stays reasonably neat, only so I can go back and understand what the hell I did when I stuff up :)
I've also always underlined my final answer, an it has actually been keep beneficial in a few situations in the past.

and i put a square around my answers!!! i thought i was the only one who marked them:)

thats true..if you scribble it out make sure it can still be visible, because they have to read everything in the whole book, so if you scribbled out the right answer they can still give you marks for it.

sometimes, the answers do not matter at all.. its the working out layout that mostly counts lately

In my legal exam one of my friends rewrote a question but the supervisor just ripped the origional book up, but personally i think it doesnt matter how messy it is, they don't mark u down for it and its just a waste of time. plus I think that it should still be tied up to it just in case u forgot to copy down a section.
