Do CIE penalize people for untidy answers? Like for number one of physics 22 I didn't see the powers so I had to cross out my working again an again. And I had to write on the blank page beside. I also had to cross out my answers. Will they minus my marks? :(

no they don't penalize marks for cutting over and over.they will only penalize if u didn't use good english or what u have written is not clear.no matter how much u have cut if they can undestand clearly what u have written u will get marks for it.

Not entirely true. They usually give marks even if your grammar or english is bad, but the key words specified in the marking scheme are there.

What are you crying about? I had the worst luck ever. For the value m/h0-h I accidentally wrote on the table m/h only and made everything wrong, including the graph, gradient and y intercept value.....basically everything after the table of results. Then I finally realized my mistake and redid it. I made a 2cm wide column in my table, crossing out the wrong one, and rubbed out and redid my graph. There was hardly any space left for the next calculations, but I somehow made it. Later on, my answers seemed to coincide with that of my friends. My teacher assured me I would get marks as long I had correct answers and the working was understandable, even if the handwriting is microscopic(not literally!).
