Title: Writing materials...
Post by: EagleWings on November 12, 2013, 07:30:58 pm
Hey I know it says write in black or blue pen but I make such a mess with pen in physics! If we were to use pencil would we lose marks? Is it worth risking it? :o

From examination report 2010, exam 2
As the students’ work is scanned and presented to assessors online, it is essential that students follow the instructions on the examination paper and write only in black or blue pen.

I'll be honest, I read that in 2010 and answered both in pencil in 2011 anyway. It doesn't matter if you write hard enough :P
