It's obvious they knew the instructions if they did it for the other 19 and had a slip up on one...I think more the issue is that other people got awarded a mark when they didn't fill it in either makes it unfair. Either noone gets the mark or everyone, consistency makes it fair.

that always ends up with other people losing marks :c

Semi-related my first assessment task this year in maths i put something like 3.66(repeater) and lost a mark simply for not going 3.6(repeater) despite not saying it wanted it in simplest form :/

I lost a mark in multiple choice because I circled the bubble instead of shading it in... Is this unfair?

welcome to real life and uni lol

Fair.

If it was the HSC exam you'd lose the mark as well.

You need to carefully read all instructions given. You also should be familiar with how to use an OMR multiple choice sheet by now.

You're obviously wrong, also others that are saying it's fair that he's lost a mark. Look at the situation from other posts. OP said that another student 'wrote' the answer and was awarded the mark, if it was in an HSC exam they would also lose the mark.
BUT in this case if a person who wrote the answer got a mark, circling the answer is on equal grounds, so OP should be awarded the mark.

Wrong? Fairness seems to be a fairly subjective concept.

I thought tests were to check if a student had the knowledge, not if the student made a slight mistake in placing the REQUESTED answer format (shading in the circle). If it's clear that the student indicated the correct answer and was marked incorrectly, then tests aren't doing what they're meant to be doing, which IMHO, is ludicrous.

Yeah, but what would you do if you originally coloured in the correct answer, but then change it but then need to change it back to your original? How else would you signal to the marker that you were meant to choose that answer without re circling it...

pretty bullshit unfair in my opinion...
