Not Normally, the instructions clerly said don't write on blank pages, maybe you'll get an "eco-friendly" marker though who won't deduct marks

They will see them and probably mark them so you should be okay, but you are expressly directed to write on lined pages only, so technically you did violate the rules.

Hopefully they wont deducte marks, but maybe not give you the mark the words were worth.
We werent told not to write on the white paper, they just said if you run out of space get another booklet, but no one did

The person next to me got a second booklet wrote one sentence and was finished. A bit of a waste of paper. I doubt you would be deducted marks.

Good.
Cause they already use up 7 million writing booklets every year for the HSC, so its good to know you're conserving our rainforests :)

So long as the marker sees it you will fine.

Markers do NOT deduct marks. They simply don't award them.

If the work was worth 20 marks and it would get 20 marks then it will get 20 marks and not 19 because you wrote on that page.

The problem is that the marker simply mightn't see it, unless you specifically indicated that it was there.

You won't lose marks unless the markers are really sadistic...

Depending on the context that ending could actually work quite well :p

I was told at one of those study days by an ex-marker that he has marked exams that have been directing him all over the place (back page, front page, in the borders) so hopefully you'll get one of those guys :)
