This could have resulted in my answer booklet being disqualified and I would have
had to re-take the exam. Since the exam was held twice a year only, this mistake
would not only have cost me valuable time but also a lot of money for the upcoming
exams.
In panic, I looked around to see any familiar face to ask for help; however, I did not

about the regulation. I was relieved and ready to sit my exam, thanks to a kind
examiner.
