Yes you should draw diagrams in pencil. I am currently doing GCSEs and at the beginning of each exam the invigilator says write in black biro or ink and use pencil for diagrams.

I don't know exactly but I don't think so as long as it isn't smudged or anything. I think you should ask someone at your school tomorrow

we don't have school on friday. but it didnt smudge cause i did it in biro x
i think you can do it in either. i did my chemistry exams today but i was panicking in case it wouldnt show up? it was clearly visible but i didnt conscientiously press hard or anything
you will loses marks if diagrams or sketches are in pen no matter what the kind it is though most time they do provide you with a pencil if needed
