gator124 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Hey guys so when I took a multiple choice paper 1, it said to put Xs in the box for an answer in pencil. I put them in pencil but I didn't make them very dark, so does anyone know if the multiple choice answer sheets are mailed or scanned? I fear that if they are scanned my answers won't show up. Also, is there anything I can do at this point?! Edited May 10, 2014 by Sandwich Do not use all caps in titles please. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioNinja Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 They are marked by a computer (like Scantron tests), but you'll probably be fine - it would have to be really light for the computer not to pick it up! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wupsi, so I basically made them very very dark, do you think this will be a problem? I had like 15 minutes left and decided to make sure my Xs were extremely dark :DD 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm worried about is where I've changed answers and I couldn't rub out the pencil marks entirely - I hope it doesn't scan as having 2 answers! 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonieIB Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Be confident you guys, stop worrying! I'm sure that shading those MCQs in whatever way they specify is for their convenience, but if it is not scanned properly surely they will fix it rather than give you a zero! There is at least some human factor involved in the IB examination marking process, you guys! Edited May 10, 2014 by LeonieIB 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFeghouli8 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I had a question about writing in the boxes during the short answer question. I wrote in the box provided, and the exam instructor told us if we needed more room, not to write outside the box and to use the extra booklet provided upon request. If I only needed one more sentence to write , I would write under the last line provided, the space between the line and the end of the box. As long as it is readable and inside the box, will my answer count? Or will they not count the answer? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman-WilsonST Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Yes that will be fine, they leave that space in case people want to write more than the lines given. I always go into the extra space and write extra small! Especially for the data analysis questions because they are so ambiguous I find! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
