Use of tippex in State Examinations

iang198

Im just wondering is the use of Tippex authorised in State Examinations. I always thought it was until my cousin informed me otherwise! Is this true? My teachers never said any thing about it.



Thanks Guys.

You'd be crazy to consider using it.

I know where your coming from but in subjects like business and Religion where you only have a certain amount of space you can't afford to loose space!

If potential mistakes are an issue then I'd consider using a pencil.

Yes, you are fully entitled to use tippex in the State Examinations.

Most discourage it however because:

1. It wastes valuable time.
2. For some subjects, examiners are obliged to correct work that has been cancelled (crossed out). However, if you've covered it in tippex, that obviously cannot happen.

You can always ask for extra paper.

Do not use Tippex.

Cool Story Bro

You can use it. But you'd be better off just drawing a straight line through the mistake.

I know this is AP but can you use tippex if you messed up a spelling in English or took down the question wrong? And in the other thread, someone said that it wastes time but what if you're using the Tippex that's kinda like a tape, you don't have to wait for it to dry, you could use that couldn't you?
Just wanna make sure Thanks

You will not lose any marks if you make a mistake spelling a word, put a line through it and write it correctly above/below/beside it.

From correcting, my main issue with Tippex is the amount of people obliterate a word, obviously meaning to go back and rewrite it, but who never do.

Well for religion for example you only get a certain amount of room to answer the question on the exam paper.... There for you would need a whole new exam paper

Why would you need another exam paper? Just write Q.2 continued, for example on an answer book and continue. Might be a good idea to write Q.2 continued in answer booklet at the bottom of the question too.

Do not take down a question. It's a complete waste of time.
