is it okay to write past the lines? Obviously not outside the scanning lines indicated by the corners but I mean like if they have 5 dotted lines for a short answer and I extend past this (but not past what is scanned) would that be bad? I understand that I can use extra paper or paper at the back of the exam but I don't care I just want to know about writing extra on the question.

Probably if you ask your teacher. I know definitely for English, not sure for other subjects. But might be diff for your school so best to ask. Not fully sure for HSC tho

I wrote past the lines for modern and ancient history. Do they scan the whole page? I forgot to continue my answer in another writing booklet and just kept on writing. My answers stayed within the scanning lines.

You should be fine, for trials and prelims I wrote around 3-4 sentences beyond the line and still got marked for the,, full marks btw for those questions
