Title: Pen erasers? Where to buy them?
Post by: onur369 on June 03, 2011, 06:43:15 pm
As exams are right around the corner and hearing that we must use pen do any of you know where I can purchase an eraser which erases pen?

Last time I had one was in hong kong. I think the erasers normally come with the pen itself, but I haven't really seen any, so cross out neatly or use a grey lead

I've never seen a pen eraser that actually works properly, most make a really ugly blue smudge on the page.

You can get one from any stationary shop place thingy. Like office works.
They aren't worth it because they run out really quickly and
I don't suggest you use those erasable pens because sometime last year when I was doing a Japanese SAC, my teacher marked my practice SAC and I was going through it in front of the heater when the correcting all disappeared because she was using an erasable pen. Although then I didn't know that you could put it in the freezer to make it reappear and I doubt half the examiners are going to know how to make the writing reappear if your writing is exposed to extreme heat for some reason and disappears.
If you want to see what they look like.....

just write with confidence..... You need to believe that what you are writing is correct.... If its wrong cross it out and write the answer and circle it if you feel the examiner might miss it

you need a special type of pen if you want one that can be erased properly, otherwise it looks like you munted blueberry muffin all over your work.

If you write in pen and stuff up the answer, cross it out and rewrite again. Then, use a HIGHLIGHTER to highlight the correct answer. This will draw the examiner's eyes directly to the correct answer, so he/she won't be annoyed by messy responses (as much).
