Can the marking system/machine detect liquid paper? I used liquid paper cos the examiners told me to, but the instructions said nothing bout liquid paper.

Is liquid paper allowed to be used in the multiple choice section?

actually..our supervisors specifically said not to use liquid paper during geo/history because some people did for maths and they said the computer will detect it..

I think it will... your meant to just cross it out im pretty sure as others have said

If its any consolation, your first answer is usually the correct one.

No!!!!!!

I liquid papered on the correct/incorrect maths question. so the computer will recognise it as all the circles being circled!!!! Arg!!!!

I'm going to sue them!!! What can I do?

easier.
I couldn't, can't remember now, but I think I kept on changing the answers so I had to use liquid paper.

Anyone help? Should I call the school now and tell them about it?

I did it at the maths "correct/incorrect" section and used liquid paper in all the circles of one question ( think it was 78). That means 4 marks lost! And I also used liquid paper in my other tests, at least 3 times.

Cos the EXAMINER TOLD ME TO!!! I specifically asked and they said "use white out".

It won't work if you call the school. They have probably already sent it in. The machine will reject your paper with liquid paper. One of the supervisors said that the machine just gives a zero if liquid paper or scribbles are put on the paper. On the good side of things, maybe she was just making bull up to scare us. :D my grade is so naive, lol.

look, its shit go, but you really cannot do anything. I mean, u could complain about the marker and get them fired if you really complain, but thats about it.

lol you don't understand. I've circled the correct answers on the sheet. Its all there in blue ink. I just used liquid paper to white out the incorrect answers.

A human would know which one is my final answer but a machine? Does it know the difference between liquid paper and a blue pen? Is it designed to?

i get what you mean, but the fact is, you cannot make any changes to your exam paper after the exam time is up so theres no point in telling the school cuz they cant do anything about it.

I dunno if its marked by a machine or not, it is in hsc so yea, just relax, ur exams are over. 4 marks isnt that much.
