Are we allowed to.....
« on: June 02, 2010, 03:09:29 pm »
Is it okay to use pencil in edexcel AS exams?
I used it for my chemistry, S1, and Biology for the drawings, but have now realized that pencil was not written on the front of the exam paper. Please help me out here :(, my physics was bad enough...........

For graphs and diagrams it's OK.
But you must write with black pen.

The first page of the exam paper states "Use black ink or ball-point pen." :)
When I was writing my exam, the supervisor was giving out black ink pens for those of us who havent got one.

Thank you very much everyone :)
Does the exam board scan diagrams differently, since only they can have pencil use?
And, at least i feel a bit more at rest now, so graphs and diagrams, are OK with pencils, and all other written answers in pen, right? Thanks very much.
