Muji Black Gel Pens safe for exams?

i used the Muji Black Gel Pens for my recent GCSE exams and a friend of mine told me the scanners do not pick up gel pens.
Im feeling really anxious at the moment because im not sure if this is true, as i did write in black and there was no smudging however my English paper said do not use gel pens , so i am really confused ?
will my paper still be marked?

Gel pains are not picked up by scanners; dont worry though the examiners will find an alternative to mark your paper as they have access to your main script; so chill

no, it's not valid to say 'pagaal children these days' over pen preferences. some people can't write with a biro for many reasons! if it was 'jusss write with a biro' then everybody would be writing with one. Pen preferences come from the fact people i know and i came close to spraining their wrists writing with a pen that hurts/damages their hands. some people are still suffering with the effects of learning how to use a pen wrong ! you can't judge someone for their choice of pen, especially if it changes their performance during an exam. some people just think or write better with the certain movement or feeling of a specific pen. i personally would not be down for doing through a history 16 marker with a clamp on my hand. batameez
