IELTS Exam – Coimbatore – August 21, 2016 – Nikhil D Anand

I took the exam on 19th (speaking) and 20th (listening , reading, writing) of August 2016 in Coimbatore(India).Doubt:
Atul, before sharing my questions I have a doubt to clear. I wrote down my first name with a pen instead of a pencil in reading answer sheet. When I pointed out this invigilator said to strike off my name with a pencil and write down my full name with pencil itself besides that. I would like to know whether my result will be withheld because of this.
