Hey guys, I wanted to ask whether it's okay to use a gel pen while writing my examinations because my handwriting is terrible with a biro pen!!

Should be okay, as long as it doesn't smudge.

not encouraged but not sure - may/will show on other side, so your writing is not legible (bearing in mind its machine scanned) - maybe try buying a comfortable biro (not a leading authority so may not be 100% correct)

bit annoying i know - but if its a mock exam , may allow them if theyre reasonable, and try and get the black version for the real ones?
