Guys, I have a really important question that is bothering me, if anyone has some experience with the topic - any help would be VERY appreciated. Please help me! :eek:
So I, being very silly, managed to run out of paper (even though we were given 16 sheets to answer on lol), because I answered one question on each sheet, and then moved on to a new sheet if I finished the question even though half of the sheet might have been blank. Anyway, when I reached the latter, longer questions such as question #7, which needed a lot of working, I started to answer it on like page #15 of the answer booklet, and then ran out of space, so I had to go back to like page #3 where I wrote: Question 7 (cont'd) and then continued answering the question, while the first half of that paper is dedicated to like question 2.
I know examiners mark these papers in order they are given, so when an examiner marks my papers, he'll come across paper #7 (cont'd) first! Will he then ignore it until he gets to the first part of question 7 and then come back to the cont'd part, or will he not give me any marks for it? Gosh I am so worried about it, if anybody knows anything about how these papers are marked and if the examiner will accept my form of answering, please help me!! :unsure: I'm worried sick over here!

i hope im not freaking anyone out, but i found the test really easy, as for Q7 it was a bit tricky, but if you drew a graph you would've found it a bit easier, although the question said by calculation which you still had to do

I guess, when he sees that u wrote cont'd on q7, he wont correct it, but on question 7 u have to write its continued on page 3 . not sure

Yea, that's exactly what I'm worried about, I didn't write "it's continued on page 3" after I ran out of space to work out question 7. Brr! I really hope the examiner is good natured!

don't worry that much, half of us failed at Q7 so what's the worst thing that can happen :D
