Yep, pens are the best to use. BLUE AND BLACK PENS ONLY! Apparently there was trouble last year with someone using purple pen...

Sounds like something I'd do.

lol ;D

You think I'm joking.

Here's some of my Jap notes from earlier this semester:



A couple of years ago, I intentionally made my macroeconomics exam paper rainbow so it was easier to understand all my D-S graphs and explanations. My answers were pretty crap, but I got a HD. I suspect the examiner was drunk when they marked my paper, and just liked the pretty colours.

*sigh*

I just realised that I really am an Arts student at heart.

Seriously though... I don't see the huge problem with writing theory Qs in pen... most people find they can write faster and more clearly in pen than in pencil.

Ergonomically, pens are actually better to write with.

So unless you're worried about making heaps of mistakes and no having enough room..?
If that ever happens, just write:

PTO ------>
 or
CONTINUED in next exam booklet / on Page 8 / etc

Ah now I see where we differ. It's called VCAA and their "efficiency" ----> online marking.

AFAIK you get no extra space - you write something wrong in pen and you're screwed :)
