What's the worst that can happen?
« on: October 30, 2009, 05:41:50 pm »
When i think of something, i believe i have done it then can't get it out of my head lol, just wondering. I'm 99% sure i didn't but if for instance you ticked box I. and wrote on II. for text response (so ticked the incorrect box) but it was completely obvious you did II... How harsh are the examiners will they mark me on the box i ticked or change it? Thanks..

Holy shit...If i ticked the wrong box...I'm going to have to call Voxi and contemplate making a movie about people in a scorching weekend and a train crash.

LMAO +1, nah I know which one I ticked,

To be honest im not sure of your question!!! That seems hard! Especially since they dont have time to compare ur piece with the question etc, or try and guess which one u were talking about
aww, im sorry, im not really alleviating your fears =S

I would like to know the answer to this as well as I think I may have actually put in i) instead of ii) ... fuck.

Pretty sure I wrote the prompt on the planning side as well actually.

Can anyone offer me some solace anyway? It shouldn't matter that I wrote i) instead of ii), right?

They won't care if you didn't tick it. It's just a device that allows them to easily see what topic someone did.

Trust me.

why do we have to trust you? my english teacher who were an english exam assesor before said that if you forgot to tick the box (to indicate which question you're doing),  your english exam (for the text response) won't be marked

well that's clearly bogus. Of COURSE they would mark it....as if they'd have a script book full of hundreds of words, and FAIL that piece of writing because of a TICK. The tick is merely to make it EASIER to separate into "batches"

We don't need anybody to say otherwise...it's common sense.

ur teacher probz said that to ensure u tick it, and scare you into doing it.

I hope you're right. My problem isn't that I failed to tick either box, rather that I think I ticked the wrong one. However, I thought it was a strong essay that addressed the prompt well and therefore, it should be blatantly obvious which prompt I was responding to.

everyone, please look at the english criteria for the text response section, it has clearly stated that students must be able to demonstrated "detailed knowledge and understanding of the selected text and use appropriately in response to the TOPIC". The assessors can't be bother looking what question you're doing (if you haven't ticked the box) as they got 40,000 exams to mark and 120,000 essays to read. We have to tick the box to indicate which questions we're doing, if we don't, our english exam for the text response won't be marked as they can't be bother and we will get zero for that section.
