Is this Ok to do in exams?

[Lazmarr]

So I had an exam today, a practical one, probably failed it lol. Anyway, at the start of the exam I usually write notes in the back of the exam booklet in case I forget anything and refer back to it (which is usually all the time), and today was a really unerwealmng performance from me since I forgot to do some additional maths which I was telling myself in the exam to do and I only wrote like 2 or 3 paragraphs; no thanks to me panicking and spending one hour on a damn graphs axis

So as I was saying I wrote some notes in the back of the exam booklet of what I need to include in my in-lab report and I kinda wrote a note telling whoever is going to mark it that there are some notes in the back of the exam booklet. Do you think that's OK to do?

 

PS Sorry for the rant, kinda really in a shitty mood because of that damn exam and needed to let out

 

To avoid any confusion, we are give a multi-page booklet to write our answers in in the exam and what I do is at the start of the exam write down from memory what I can remember in the back of said book (No cheating in any form)

Depends on whos grading your paper. I added 2 lines to the side of a report in an accounting class to correct a mistake I made in the report itself and added a note explaining the change and those were the only marks I dropped in that exam despite the answer being correct.

 

Most graders are pretty lenient with that kinda stuff though

lol i dont see why not, if you dont get caught its not against the rules

So basically you are cheating,why not study hard instead and write your exams instead of cheating and bringing shame to oneself.

[Lazmarr]

If you wrote them off memory, I don't see how its not ok.

 

Why not just write those with pencil and then erase it when your done? If it worries you that much

Nah what I was worried about was teh writing of the note telling the marker there was some stuff in teh back of the book lol

Nooo I mean that I write from memory some notes in the back of the exam booklet lol no cheating involved

Basically there's a book we get given to write in in the exam, I write in the back of it what I can remember at the beginning of the exam.

Depends on the teacher honestly

[nerdyrcdriver]

Anything that I remember and could possibly use on my exams immediately gets written in blank space for use during the exam. I have never had a teacher/professor that had an issue with it. Some have even encouraged it. 

 

Your note explaining that you wrote the stuff in the back from memory should be okay too, unless you have an unreasonable person grading the exam.
