Pencil or pen
« on: July 11, 2009, 10:21:39 pm »
IG my maths paper 2, i did a graph question i pen, do the graph questions have to be in pencil. I looked in the front cover and it said that they may pencil may be used. I take this as meaning that u have the option to use pencil, but are not completely obliged to. Do i lose all the marks for that question...

When they write this sentence it means you have to use a pencil -as my IGCSE co-ordinator told me- in CIE you use a pencil most of the time but in Edexcel you should ink it
