Probably pencil so that your graphs are not messy if you make a mistake. Also, if you make a mistake, you can rub it out easier with pencil than pen.

Personally I'm using pen but I'm also taking a pencil in for graph drawing

i am only worried about the fact when the examiners are marking the paper, would it be alight for them to mark if i use pencils or not?

Best thing to use is a HB pacer, apparently.
Don't use anything lighter than HB or anything too darker as the pencil could smudge and your answers will be illegible.

The methods exams aren't scanned so pencil should be fine.
