    Just wondering seeing as one of my friends hurt his arm today...I understand you get a scribe if you've broken your arm or something like that, but how do they deal with subjects like art, construction or DCG where illustrations and drawings have to be done?

    They would put a note in with your paper that the candidate had an injury which affected their drawing ability, or possibly give extra time, if the injury would cause the candidate to do things more slowly.

    So if they were completely unable they'd receive a certain percentage of the marks available? Sorry for the questions. Its just something that's been puzzling me all night!

    No, if they don't attempt questions they won't get anything.
    It happens a number of candidates every year. People with very poor sight have issues with maps, etc.. They may be allowed a wider margin of error than standard candidates.
