In a user manual I came across recently.

    There’s actually a purpose for this I found out after joking about similar on exam papers. Turns out if you don’t mark the page intentionally blank people freak out that they’re missing a page.

      But why even have the blank page to start with? It always feels like a waste of paper (and now ink).

        lots of styles like to open a chapter on the same side, so if the previous chapter is one page short, you pad it.

        As Gratux explained style or padding. Once one section (or topic) of an exam is done they occasionally pad it and the last (back) page is generally left blank and is the designated “doodle to amuse yourself/examiner” space.
