Yup, all the rest of the papers at Cambridge, but papers like Pak Studies or Urdu here or like Hindi or Tamil, Telagu etc in India. Obviously why would they be sent there..?

pfft..no.
they mark you for your content of answer, not for leaving lines.

thanks for your reply but i've heard that the papers are checked by computers so leaving lines may create trouble

 

[maaz12]

in the instructions it was written that you have to leave 2lines between each answer.

yeah same here, left one line only... Is it gonna create a problem?

 

[***amd***]

if we write below the lines, is that accepted?

no, it isnt accepted. Its clearly mentioned in British Council's Candidates' exam guide that we should write in the lines, not anywhere outside them.

did the same .-.

 

[maaz12]

are the papers checked by hand or by computer?

 

[Haala M.]

are the papers checked by hand or by computer?

by hand because I've read mark schemes where they tell the examiner to tick here and write the mark here, etc. Except for multiple choice papers which are checked by machines. At least I think so.
I think all the examiners are in the UK though, because I read somewhere they have examiner meetings where they discuss the question paper answers given by various students.

over writing is never an issue in cie but not writting is an issue
