hi my writing is nt good with ball pen can i use gel pen ? would it be scanned ?
Well I heard they deduct some marks for this. So I would suggest you to use ball pen and practice more to improve your writing. Each mark counts so don’t risk!
I have used gel pens for all my exams, they are fine to use. Gel pens are ball pens, the only difference is the formulation of the ink. Normal ball pens use ink thats oil based and Gel pens as the name suggests is a gel/water mixture, Gel ink in generally more fluid that a normal oil based ball pen and as such I find that they write more fluidly. The scipts are all scanned so its important that whatever you use is clear and best advice is generally to use a black ink pen.
Use a Gel pen if that suits you, you wont lose marks for the type of pen you use!! Just dont use highlighter pens or tipex / correction fluid as these dont show up on scanned documents.
ok thnskkk @celticking76 and what about using black marker for headings ?
I am doing P1 and P2 at the moment. As far as a black marker, why would you need this write and underline your heading and as long as its clear you will be fine. There are no tricks for you to lose marks in the exams, the markers want you to pass!!, also the exams are not negatively marked, as such you cannot be deducted marks.
Stop worying about this kind of thing, just ensure your writing is clear and your answers are well laid out in a logical structred manner, this just assists the marker in being able to see where they can award marks. Additionally if your handwriting is so bad consider and practice writing in capitals, I have found this assists people who may not have great handwriting being understood.
