Anyone else use an excessive amount of highlighter in their exam paper? I highlighted almost every key word and then would highlight it again if it came up in my answer.

Anyone else use highlighters for anything else?

you're going to make the poor examiner all trippy.....

(I know that was secretly your aim all along)






No I didn't even take a highlighter in.

Yeah same, I didn't think it was necessary, however I did underline some key concepts of some questions, as some were lengthy and I needed to break them up a bit, to be able to fully understand them. . .

To be honest, I NEVER highlight ANYTHING. I just read the question, think if necessary and go.

Quicker that way I suppose. I personally don't like fluro colours anyway ><

Gee i thought it was weird when the girl next to me started doing that. I thought she was an oddity, i didn't know other people actually did that.. I mean, the marker should read the whole question anyway, so it shouldnt be much of a worry that they will miss something

I highlight multiple choice questions I'm not sure about, and then come back in extra time. I don't change my answers most of the time but. Highlighting is fun.

Highlighting gives me great trauma. I'm always fearful of pressing too hard down at the end of things I highlight, or keeping it on the paper too long at one point and making that part look extra dark.

I'm also fearful of using it too high so it only covers the top half of the words and like 2mm above the words. And then I'd have to highlight it again, and then again there would be a darker, soggier highlighter mark in between, you know what I mean?

Waste of time highlighting in an exam.

Wow! I sometimes get exactly the same feelings.

I don't bother for exams anyway...
