pens for exams

(do tell me if this is the right forum, i just thought this was a good idea bc ppl here have probs done their gcses already.)

ik this is a dumb post but i dont want another reason to crash out during exam/mock seasons-

i can't stand using those bic ballpoint pens, they really make my hand ache. I usually use gel for classwork, but I find that the Zebra Z-Grip Smooth ballpoint is decent enough, just wanna double-check I can use that in the real exams for like gcses and a-lvls bc none of my friends are planning on using the zebra one i've mentioned. I need it to scan, the writing not scanning is not an option-

I just need the reassurance !!

thanks for taking the time to read this :smile:)
Hi!

I used Zebra Z-Grip Smooth ballpoint pens for both my GCSE and A-Level exams, and still use them now for University exams! It shouldn't be a problem.
