Look i am almost certian, that they wont penalize me for this. If u dont remember on the fornt cover it doesnt say u have to use pencil, it says you may. This means its optional, u can eitheir choose to or not to.. In da examiners report nor on the markscheme does it say anything about loosing marks. Think about it, if u had to to do it in pencil, wouldnt they write, " All diagrams must be done in pencil"? However on the front cover it says " You may use a pencil for any diagrams or graphs." This is quoted directly, it doesnt say that u have to, it says that u have the option to do so..

Yeah but it clearly says may, so yeah. Da only reason they tell u becarefull is because if u do something wrong, then u cnt cross it out. Anyways it would be stupid if they gave u a 0 for doing a graph in pen, they're judging your mathematical skills not your equipemnt skills.

Im Not being a b*tch or anything, but i dont think you'll get the marks. it says you have to write in blue or black pen. In my case it said you may use a pen or a pencil, so maybe ill get by.. Man seriously who cares, you cant do anything about it and you only did it for one question right? So you only lose 1 mark and even if u lose more the paper is out of 105 i think.. so it wont make that much of a difference.... I did the same for the ict exam, but i remembered to ink it. I really think it very unprofessional of cambirdge to penalise u for this type of sh*t as long as u write an answer, u should get the makrs for it if its correct. Thabk god im taking Ib next year, im not taking a levels, i dont like the british system its too strict and fussy and stuff...
