u know for subjects like chem and phys - for short answer they give u a lil space with lines to write in?

if i write outside the lines, will the markers read it?

 

[littlemic21]

i think so... depends n heaps of things.. like if its ridiculously long for only a couple of marks or if u have huge hand writing

 

[Benno]

yeah they will, they have to mark everything on the paper

 

[+:: $i[Q]u3 ::+]

argh.. positive?? *stress paranoia

 

[fatmuscle]

yeah it will be.

it unfair on those who write big!

 

[babyslug]

shouldn't see why not.

 

[Lexicographer]

If it's readable they'll read it. Those are the guidelines. Whether they understand it however...

 

[Raiks]

They'll read it as long as its legible and they know where the writing outside the lines connects with the writing on the line, so don't expect that if you start writing parts of your answer in all parts of the paper that they'll read it but if it's understandable and interpretable, they'll mark it.

Yeah, I've been told as long as you don't end up going onto other questions, (Because all the questions get broken up to marked) you'll be fine. I think that includes going onto additional booklets if need be and saying on the booklet what question it is.

lol i agree
in my yearly.. my teacher wrote in the little corner "can u write any more" in one of those 5 mark questions for biology.. i got full marks anyway.. plus finsihed early.. so what harm would writing extra do?

 

[chris42]

Not much I don't think except meaning a bit of extra reading for the markers

 

[iambored]

yeah, most of the time they don't give enough lines anyway

 

[Minai]

If u check the standards packages, especially for the big 5-8 mark questions, u'll see the responses go all over the page, even with diagrams (I did one for superconductivity in Physics)

I hate those BOS papers. The spacing between each lines are too big.

#@%!%!@%!!!%

Ever wondered why?

 

[Ragerunner]

To allow students who can't write much feel good that in the end they can say "I manged to write 5 pages!! fear me!!"

I guess it's probably a general subject type paper that it suits all. i'd still prefer the exercise book type papers.

 

[Lexicographer]

The lines are wide to a) accomodate large writing and b) allow markers to READ the text.

 

[rukawasan]

if u write big... then ull get more pages done... n so have teh 'ribbon effect' theory which states taht when the marker gets ur paper... cos u go into a 2nd booklet.. they'll unconsciously blieve ur a beta candidate n u have more things to say den others...
i thnk....

I like the BOS papers, it makes me feel that im writing a lot

 

[+:: $i[Q]u3 ::+]

it makes it a lot easier to read.. esp if ur writing's messy
