I don't know if it's different for Edexcel or not, but for diagrams, graphs and maps, you should use a HB/B pencil. Basically, it is a lead pencil which is dark enough to show up in the scan. The same pencil is used in MCQ papers when marking answers. In fact, it is in these instances that a black pen is not allowed.

You have to write in blue or black pen in your exam. You know that right?
