Forgetting to write question number on O Level Chinese Paper

ShuttlesWorth SG

I think i forgot to write the question number on my o level chinese essay, if not, it's that i've written the question number wrongly.

The question i've written down is CLEARLY "Bao Zhang Bao Dao" because i've written the four words in the beginning of the essay.

How will i get penalised? Will I get a straight zero?

I'm losing sleep over this.

ArJoe SG

Nope. The examiners would be able to tell which question you are writing… don’t worry about that…They cannot give you zero marks or fail you just because you did not write the question number… you will not be penalised

Capriceraven SG

Don't worry so much, I've heard the worst that can happen is minus 5 marks. But don't think examiners will penalize anyways. Unless you're terribly unlucky.

They will not penalize you for not writing question number. Marks can only be deducted when you write wrong words or write out of topic.

TehJarVu SG

heng you got write "Bao Zhang Bao Dao" should be ok

Is that so? When I took my prelims that's what my teachers n schoolmates told me.

Based on the examiner's report this is what was written... And It doesn't make sense to deduct somebody's marks just because of not writing qn number? Not doing that doesn't lower down your Chinese standard right?

Yes true, thanks for that. My teachers were probably just trying to scare us

ArJoe SG

Capriceraven SG

JC teachers are even scarier

Why do u say so?

ArJoe SG

Why do u say so?

Because JC teachers are a lot fiercer and stricter than sec sch teachers.. a bit of careless mistakes and they can scold you for a long time...always threaten us not to do this do that for the A levels
