i am doing some really silly mistakes in these cies.
today, in english composition, section 2, there were topics to write different kinds of creative stuff from, i chose topic 4, which was narrative. if anyone remembers from todays exam.anyways, in answer sheet instead of mentioning 4 in the question column i wrote 6, don't ask me why, i chose to write on topic 6 first but i changed my mind and i forgot to cut out the 6 from that column.
All i want to ask is that, what the heck are the examiners going to do now with my paper like if anyone has experienced that or has any idea, how much marks are going to be deducted for that. :/

I chose to write on topic 4 i think, but wrote on topic 6. Now maybe i wrote ''Topic #4'' on the top.

I wasn't aware of this, but reading your post makes me think i wrote Topic 4 :/

do you have any idea how much marks will be deducted. you remember that topic 4 had some sentence in inverted commas. i included that but in the end of the story. i guess that won't make a difference.

darn. O. i always got an A* in english composition. wasn't ready for a O.
i want to kill my self, literally.

I don't know if they will give a zero.
But it'll be either of the two extremes. There is no middle ground here, like they would cut one or two marks, because their are no MARKS for writing the correct topic number. There are marks for language and stuff.

Either they will read TOPIC 6 written, and will see that you have written a completely irrelevant passage, and give a zero.

OR, they will ignore it, and realize that you made a mistake or something, and mark it has TOPIC 4 instead.

Depends on their marking policy, which i am not that aware of.

If the two topics were very different, the examiner will probably understand and I suppose you wont lose all your marks. Although much depends on the examiner, I think they'd cut a mark or two.
The thing is you've made a mistake. Forget it. And learn from it. Donot repeat it, nor let it affect your other papers. That is the trait of successful people.
Good luck. :)

No i don't think it will be that serious. If you wrote topic 6 but then decided to write on topic 4 without changing the topic mentioned, then the examiner will see the line ,' My father's look...' and will realize that you did the error. Also if you did the converse, the examiner won't find this line, and will instead find the 'wooden box'
So yeah the examiners are sensible enough, and there is nothing to worry about
