Pen vs. Pencil (1 Viewer)

[mandog97]

Just wondering as I've heard many different reports on this topic.

For subjects which involve calculations (I do mathematics chemistry and engineering) does it matter whether you use a pencil or pen? In mathematics my teacher told me to not use a pencil as the scanner may not be able to read it.
Note- I despise pens and their existence

thnx

In maths usually it is necessary to make sure graphs and stuff are done in pen. If you do them in pencil, go over them in pen.

You can use pencil for calculations, make sure it's atleast 2B

Is 2B darker than 2HB?

I'd go over pencil graphs in pen, because I think they scan papers for mathematics now.

idk just use a 2b

just use 6b

 

[astroman]

just use 6b

the darker the pencil, the softer it is, don't use 6b it will go blunt very quick

 

[BLIT2014]

just use 6b

They are a pain to use.

I used a pencil in the previous years and it was fine.

my chem teacher is a head marker at hsc marking centre. she said to use pencil cause it will scan through fine, but if your not sure you can uuse pencil first so that no mistakes are made and then go over it in pen
