My whole Physics script, all 35 pages

The interesting one. Physics is marked in half marks, and the evaluator has written the arithmetic out on the page — "31a : 1 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 3.5". You can watch a long answer being scored fragment by fragment.

Three things are covered, and nothing else

  • · The barcode number on page 1.
  • · The office-use block on the cover — the QR code and the IDEN, BAG and CHK numbers beside it.
  • · The small blue stamp the scanning centre puts on every page.

All three identify the script, not me. Every mark, tick, cross, correction and word of handwriting is untouched — covering those would defeat the purpose.

There was never a name or a roll number to remove. CBSE's own instructions, printed inside the cover and readable on page 3 below, forbid writing your roll number, name or school anywhere in your answers.
