Hopefully, I've called Edexcel and they've told me not to worry as they will be marked by hand although some of my answers were in pen on the first paper therefore they may assume that I only wrote answers and not any working out as the working out was all in pencil

Hi! This may be a while ago but do you remember if your paper got marked? I'm having the same issue where I did most calculations with pencil but had no time to trace over it with pen...

I wrote in pencil for both of my Edexcel GCSE Linear Maths exams.

Will this be a problem as scanners may not pick it up? Has anyone wrote in pencil and it wasn't a problem for you?

No it should be fine because of things like drawing bisectors you use a pencil and compass but the want to see construction lines, therefore it should come up, if not take hope in that you are boosting my grades xD. But yeah it should be fine.
