    Hi can anyone please tell me if it’s okay to use tipex in exams. Ive always used it since f4 and im now on p6 but someone said to me your not supposed to use it as when they scan you cant read what’s on top???

    Ive looked through all the rules on acca and I cant see anything to state that your not allowed the only thing i can see is that you have to use black ballpoint pen

    Why waste your time painting things out? My tutor said that, if you want to cross it out, just cross it out. Neatly – with a straight line

    Well, since you are at P6 using tipex from F4 it seems there is no problem trust your results not gossips 🙂

    But I have to agree with gingergirl, although you managed to pass exams “wasting time” on tipex I wouldn’t recommend that method whoever sees this post 🙂

    Best of luck!

    One of the opentution tutors – i think its Mikelittle – says “never cross anything out”

    His reaasoning is that if you originaly thought it was worth writing then it might just be worth a mark. If its not worth a mark, the marker won’t give you one. So if youve written it dont waste time painting – leave it in
