IGCSE doubts: not securely fastened

[santabanta]

Hi I sat my IGCSE English Literature paper in this Oct/Nov session and during the exam I used extra sheets of paper to write my essay. However, two of these papers did not have a hole in them to tie the string through, so after asking the examiner twice, I had to just slip it in the booklet.

Now that my exams are over I can't help but to worry that the extra paper I used (which contained a whole essay) will slip out and I will not gain any marks for it. So I guess my real question is: is it possible that this extra paper may be lost and will not be marked even though I had named with my candidate number, centre and name? Is there anything I can do to inform the CIE markers of this problem?

This, along with my worries of my terrible handwriting, has been a cause of a lot of lost sleep so I hope you guys can help out!

Thanks.

If you had your Name or Index Number on it, there is no risk to worry about.

I also used extra papers but i checked the hole and the paper if it is in good state before starting the essay.

Tip: Before starting a paper, always check if the paper is fully printed or if anything is missing.

Ok thank a lot for the reply - it makes me feel much better. Yea all the papers had my name, number and centre number so I hope it should be fine.

I was just angry at the invigilator who couldn't come up with better advice - but now I think of it if I wasn't so stressed I could have just punched a hole with my pen!
