Pencils are allowed to be used (in preference over pens), right?

Thanks. :)

Yep, just make sure that it's dark and doesn't smudge, so something like an HB would be good

Related to this - am I right in thinking, therefore, that the papers are not scanned (unlike chem/physics)?

My teacher is one and she says she doesnt mind as long as you use a hb or something that is dark. But it will piss them off if it is really light.

exam 1 is scanned to pick up the grey lead, exam 2 is scanned with a special version of a nuormal scanner and saves all the exams as files before being sent off to exam markin pplz so there can be none lost
