If you're that worried, yeah.

All you have to do though, is think before you write.. be sure, and then there's no hassles.

I am really, really against the idea of using a pen, but I am way too scared of getting my ass handed to me by VCAA to do it in pencil. Gah!

NOOOOOOOO. The ink used in them can fade in the transit from school to the examiner... so you may end up not answering questions that you did....

Does anyone officially know that you can't use pencil? Especially if we're asked to do graphs/energy profiles in case we make a mistake

Mid year said "write in blue or black pen or pencil"

End of year cover says "write in blue or black pen"

Edit: I used pen in mid year but am worried because the instruction message has changed
What about the instructions on the M/C that says to use pencil to colour box in A B C or D with pencil? I did this for the psych exam.
