i normally dont do anything, unless my handwriting on the day is particularly bad
in that case ill just underline the answer

although sometimes a small coloured in box is also used (to mark the end of a proof).. both are a bit old fashion though.

Not really, it's the standard convention to mark the end of a proof, which appears everywhere in mathematical papers. I have yet to see one academic who does not use it or some symbol to denote end of proof in a proper document.

The default end of proof symbol in LaTeX is a box, although that can be changed to other shapes (including clover leave).

okay.. maybe i should have said the QED is old fashion. i couldn't remember which one the lecturer said was old fashion.

You don't have to...you could circle it underline it and use your own symbol. Or simply leave the answer...I'm sure the examiners will try to find it
