blue and black pen SQA help!!

during one of my assignment write ups my black pen ran out in the middle of me writing to I had to switch to a blue pen. Is this ok? Please someone let me know. The sqa says blue or black pen but I used both.

I think so because at the end of the day, they 're still gonna get scanned and end up being black and white. You didn't use pencil so that's a good thing.

As the user above said, it's perfectly fine. The reason you have to use blue or black ink pens on assignments and exams is because they get scanned in so the markers can access them virtually to mark rather than being handed your actual paper. Other kinds of ink don't show up as well when the paper is being scanned in. Since you used blue and black though you're alright.
