Writing outside of the lines (1 Viewer)

[Lstudy]

is it okay to write past the lines? Obviously not outside the scanning lines indicated by the corners but I mean like if they have 5 dotted lines for a short answer and I extend past this (but not past what is scanned) would that be bad? I understand that I can use extra paper or paper at the back of the exam but I don't care I just want to know about writing extra on the question.

like 1-2 lines is fine. anything more than that you should probably extra paper.

okay thank you! do you know if you can get extra paper (separate booklet) beyond what is provided at the back of the paper in the provided extra writing space?

Probably if you ask your teacher. I know definitely for English, not sure for other subjects. But might be diff for your school so best to ask. Not fully sure for HSC tho

I wrote past the lines for modern and ancient history. Do they scan the whole page? I forgot to continue my answer in another writing booklet and just kept on writing. My answers stayed within the scanning lines.

You should be fine, for trials and prelims I wrote around 3-4 sentences beyond the line and still got marked for the,, full marks btw for those questions
