dont worry, mine is 0894, and all i have to write is 894 because everyones c number starts with a 0. they give u the benefit of the doubt.

I have heard from a teacher of mine that they delays ur result if u got ur candidate no. entirely wrong. But i dont guess thres gonna be a problem in urs case. And candidate no. can also start with 1 or 2 rather than being 1ly zero.

ur whole candiddate number inculdes uour centre number and the candidate number...its like this...
candiddate number : centre number/candidate number...
i have the same candidate number with a frnd but our centre numbers are different....so tht make ur whole camndiddate number...anyways in the paper write both the numbers separately in the appropriate places...ok...good luck!

Just go to ur teacher tomorow and ask for the paper, they shouldnt send it straight away a day or 2 after the exam.

they may compare that paper and another paper made by the student and they will find out which one is correct.

In my exam room everyone's candidate number is on each person's desk and the invigilator checks if he/she wrote her candidate number correctly....don't they do that with you guys?

But yeah...if that happens then i guess they check by the center number...i idk!
cuz the examiner identifies you through your candidate no.

Exactly,why do you put yourself in a situation like this, be sure, check it more than once, your statement of entry is with you so check it before the exam and after the end of it.

I don't get that how you get your candidate no. wrong. At every exam, the invigilators there goes at the desk of each candidate and checks the information written down on their answer booklet against their statement of entry.
