do u have to restrict ur answers to the line provided? (1 Viewer)

will the markers penalise you for writing answers that are too long? e.g. can u fill up all of the lines provided and then continue below, where there are no line?

Physics is not going to be marked online, so your actual papers are going to be marked, not a scanned version.

In the past:
Anything on the page is marked, even if after the last line of writing. If you need more space, then extra booklets can be requested and used

In longer mark questions there is logical and coherent as part of the marking scheme, which if you place bits randomly round the paper, you aren't going to achieve.

Board of Studies has always stated the space provided is enough to answer the question to the depth required. They are implying that from 2010 and after they may be trying to enforce it. I don't know how or if they will be successful but when students have written 6-8 pages for a 4 mark question and received 0, I can understand why they are doing this.

so if u just write a few lines below the last line that they give u it should be ok?

Always has been in the past.

logical and coherent

Wait are dot points considered illogical and incoherent?

my teacher said you can use dot points for the body but you gotta have an intro and conclusion...

Yes they can. Logical isn't a problem but being coherent means you need to include things like therefore, because so. Make the dotpoints link together.
