You should be fine. I think our forum  member Vaike did it in pencil and still got a 50. They clearly marked his/her paper last year :)

I used pen for written responses, but definately pencil for bonding diagrams! The important thing is that the pencil marks aren't too faint, otherwise they won't show up on the scan and VCAA/examiners will be annoyed (I think they may need to look at the original).

For any future students seeing this thread, I did my whole Chemistry exam in pencil and got a study score.
You’ll be fine :)
