05 May 2024 I recently gave me AFM exams and the MCQ booklet number that I had written on the answer sheet is correct but however on Blackening the OMR part I made a mistake where i blacked the last digit wrong and I had asked the invigilator and she suggested to put a cross beside the wrong number and blacken the correct number.

Does this help in anyway ? Will my MCQ answers be checked ?

03 August 2024 If you've encountered a situation where there was a discrepancy in the MCQ booklet number you entered on your answer sheet and the one you marked on the OMR sheet, here’s what typically happens and how you can address it:

### **Steps to Take and Possible Outcomes**

1. **Follow the Corrective Advice:**
- **Cross Out and Correct:** Since you followed the invigilator’s advice to cross out the incorrect number and blacken the correct one, this should ideally be noted by the examiners. This correction process helps in identifying and correcting mistakes.

2. **Examining the Procedure:**
- **Correction Process:** Most exam boards or institutions have a procedure to handle such discrepancies. If your answer booklet and OMR sheet have different numbers, the examiners usually refer to the instructions and corrective actions noted by the student.

3. **Verification by Exam Authorities:**
- **Cross-Check:** During the evaluation process, if there’s an issue with matching the booklet number and the OMR sheet, the authorities might verify the answers against the booklet number manually. Your correction should ideally be considered during this process.

4. **Potential Issues:**
- **Manual Review:** There might be a chance that your OMR sheet could be flagged for a manual review if discrepancies are detected. However, the invigilator’s confirmation and correction should provide context to the examiners.

5. **Contact the Exam Authority:**
- **Clarify Concerns:** If you’re particularly concerned, you can contact the exam authority or your examination center for clarification. Explain the situation and provide any details that might help them understand the discrepancy and corrective action.

6. **Future Precautions:**
- **Double-Check:** Always double-check the booklet number and other critical information before submitting the OMR sheet to avoid such issues in future exams.

### **Summary**

In summary, your proactive correction should help mitigate the issue. The examiners should take into account the cross-out and the correct entry based on the invigilator’s guidance. If there are still concerns, reaching out to the examination authority for further clarification or confirmation might be helpful.
