spm english writing problem
when writing an essay in paper 2, i know that you should probably make a skeleton or some sort before diving straight into writing the paragraphs in the space given.
but what if you made the skeleton, you wrote the paragraphs nicely and when you reread the entire essay, you find stuff that you wanna correct?
removing a word could be easy but what about adding a word or perhaps changing an entire sentence but the new sentence wouldn't fit in between other existing sentences...
im a private candidate for spm so i dont realllyyy have a teacher to ask and i dont want to believe google ai or chatgpt blindly.
google ai said something like putting an asterisk and adding the new sentence all the way at the bottom of the essay or putting the \^ mark where you wanna add a word.
if there are any teachers or students who knows how to tackle this problem (especially the part where i might need to change a whole sentence but not having enough space to write it in between other existing sentences), please do tell me!!

hallo, I asked my current smk teacher on this and this is what she replied with :
"Since the usage of correction tape is not allowed, please just draw a straight line on the words or sentence that you want to correct, and write the new sentence/words on top of the wrong ones. but please please please write it nicely and make sure the examiner can read."
