no i don't think they can fail u that is impossible. but u may get penailzed at the most which i do not expect no need to worry

I don't think they can penalize her for this! It is impossible. The only two options are:

1) Being ungraded: I HIGHLY doubt this since examiners don't ever correct a hard copy, so they can't even find out.

OR

2) Be marked perfectly normally: THIS IS MOST PROBABLE!

well if u fail to abide by the rules, u do get penailized. for example, if u write on the examiner section of the page (left side which says for examiners use), then u will get penalized for that question.
another example, if u write more than what the lines have provided, then again u are penalized.
the point is that it destroys the examiner's impresssion of the candidate.
getting distinction is not about the marks, but about how the candidate writes to the point in a concise manner, cuz examiners hate reading irrelevant stuff and they will penalize u for it by giving u lower marks
also examiners differ and how they mark depends on their nature (lenient, strict, .etc) which differs from examiner to examiner.
so all she can do is pray and ask Allah to help her in this matter

In bio i had to write about half a line extra, and the invigilator said I can write the few extra words below, I'm getting penalized for this?

Uzair, leave the person alone, you've made your point, so don't get all defensive! OK?

Besides it is NONE of your business over how long people do their exams!

PS: You have NO RIGHT of accusing anyone of being a "liar"

LOOK JUST FORGET IT NOW! THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO DARLING!

We can just hope for the best, many people said that it's ok, so if I were you, I would assume it wouldn't be ungraded!

If it makes you feel better, I will ask my school's exam coordinator who has been dealing with exam boards for almost 12 years now. I will tell you what he says!

I bet uzair has no friends in life, I mean look at his display picture. He comes here and try to act tough. This is internet, what can you do? Caps lock all of us to death?

on a serious note, I don't know if it's allowed or not but I've always used ball point pen. It's better if you stop using them because no one is actually 100% sure whether it's allowed or not.

I don't think you will get a U. My brother did igcse Chem and spanish with pencil last 2 years accidentally for the last 2 questions because he was unsure about the answers and he din have time to change it back. His results came out and it was fine, he got an A btw. I'm not sure about now tho. Just some personal source.
