    Personally, I would just put lines through any writing you don’t want the examiner to consider.This will save time and energy.However, don’t cross out notes or workings that you are happy with as examiner could award marks for these and they won’t be able to consider them if you have crossed them out.

    Guys.. Please read the instructions on the Exam Docket. I believe it should be out by now and all the rules and regulations are stated clearly in it.

    The exam docket says “black ballpoint pen” only for completing answer booklets.
