Does circling a question number on a scantron mark it as wrong or omitted?

While taking my bio M test, I circled the problem number of 6 questions with the intention of doing them once I did the rest of the test. (ie if I skipped question 7 I put a circle around the number 7 on my scantron). Time ran out so I couldn’t return to those 6 questions at the end and couldn’t erase those circles around the numbers. When the scantron is graded will they be marked as wrong or omitted? (I hope it’s omitted because losing a quarter of a point on those questions may hurt my score)
