Regarding Writing Task's answer format

Post by Brad »

I took the exam today and was a bit careless on the Writing Task Section and forgot to leave a space in-between paragraphs on the answer sheet.
I recall that the last sentences of paragraphs didn't go to the end of the line but I didn't indent the start of new paragraphs.
I also recall using words like "Firstly", "Secondly", "Lastly", "In Conclusion" or something similar to indicate the start of a new paragraph in Task 2 but I'm afraid I wasn't able to do this for Task 1.

Will I automatically lose marks because of this? If so, what band score for writing could I achieve?

Thanks in advance to whoever responds to my post :)
