Title: English and Grammar
Post by: PHPAJAX on May 10, 2010, 08:53:28 am

Hi guys,

Do you think the examiners care and aware about our english language and grammar when we are answering questions, especially for subjects other than English itself like ICT Theory, geo, etc ?

For example, if my answer is correct but some of the grammars are wrong, is it affect the total marks ?
Unfortunately, my english is not very well since its my second language.

It all depends on which exam board you're taking. If it's CIE - then I don't think they mind

However, I've heard that for Edexcel, examiners can mark you down for grammatical errors. So be careful  ;)
