GCSE Maths - for messy writers

What do you do if your writing is a bit of a mess, you go wrong and have to cross out and so have used up all the space for the answer to the question.

Is there such a thing as a continuation sheet? Having looked at DS's mocks there were some questions where it was so indecipherable that it might have been easier to just put a line through it and start again.

Yep kids can always ask for extra paper!

Extra paper.
I have trained my DDs from y7 to ask for extra paper for maths exams. Otherwise they can't layout work properly and thus can't think properly.

They need to make sure they write 'see extra paper' on the answer box of the unanswered questions and DO NOT write outside of the answer box without saying where the rest of the answer is to be found, even if on the same page. Papers are scanned and markers are only presented with the answer box for each question, not the full page.
