I am using exam document class for question paper setting. In the generated pdf marks are almost on the right boundary as I take printout. Can I shift it slightly left or at least at right-aligned with the text? MWE is given as:

documentclass[12pt]exam
usepackage[margin = 2.2cm]geometry

usepackageamsmath
usepackageamsfonts

Just a minor improvement over @JesseopdenBrouw's answer (seriously if anyone upvotes this answer, consider upvoting his as well, all the work is done by him, I only included a feasible break point).

The following does jump to the next line and print the points there if in the last line of the question is not enough space (2em plus the space taken by the points). Also I included the textbf into the definition of droppoints. In the following MWE one can see the effects of this changes in question 1.a.

Just a minor improvement over @JesseopdenBrouw's answer (seriously if anyone upvotes this answer, consider upvoting his as well, all the work is done by him, I only included a feasible break point).

The following does jump to the next line and print the points there if in the last line of the question is not enough space (2em plus the space taken by the points). Also I included the textbf into the definition of droppoints. In the following MWE one can see the effects of this changes in question 1.a.

a variation of nice Jesse op den Brouw's answer:

• different position of droppoints

  some off-topic changes of code
