I always use the black ink one for exams


Thanks! I'll try these!
I like Papermate.
I bought a set of Tul pens for like $8, and the black one has dried up after only a few uses. Don't buy Tul. But Papermate is really good.
whaaaat?! gel pens aren't allowed in exams? damn it :frown:

Same here, always reliable.
Why are gel pens banned? use whichever one you are comfy with. My hw is awful so i used to use ink, which looks much better, but is slower. Its more legible though.
aw this is the nerdiest thing I have ever seen, cute

I currently use the pilot frixion pens but I cannot use these in the exams because they are heat sensitive. Could anyone recommend any similar pens? I struggle using biros because my writing goes quite patchy and there ends up being white bits in my writing. I am not sure why because I press reasonably hard when I write. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated!


Good ol' Bic pen

Try a fountain pen.

Takes a bit of getting used to but after that you just glide across the paper. :biggrin:

Get one of these and you will never look back. :wink:

Really. :tongue:

Is this an official rule?

Why not?


One of these babies. They write so smooth. Feels like the pen is floating on the paper.
