Yes I did the whole exam with a pencil. No problem..Not sure if the assessors deduct some marks because they couldnt read it..because I got slightly low mark than expected

I did both exams in pencil last year (and got much higher marks than expected/deserved) :) No worries.

I used pencil for unit 3, rubbed out 1 or 2 of the worded questions cause I misinterpreted them to begin with. Although despite that I still got an A+ so I'm sure that using a pencil is fine, and I'll be using one for the exam tomorrow as well. However, I do use a pacer so it ends up being much thinner writing and probably a lot clearer.
