Can I use this pen in my final exams?

Hi, I've found that the UB-157 black pen is pretty good for when it comes to writing. Just out of curiosity, am I allowed to use this pen in exams (with Edexcel maths and fm)?

Here's a link to the pen ^.

Thanks!
Yes you can use them.

Okay thanks, the main reason I was asking was because it says it's a rollerball gel pen so I was a bit unsure, since ik that gel pens aren't allowed but I still feel a bit unsure tbh

why are gel pens not allowed, out of interest?

Issues with scanning - exam board specifically says not to use them.

I think it messes up when scanned but you should ask your exams officer
