What exam pens are you guys using? (1 Viewer)

[anjalika9923]

With HSC looming over our heads in 12 (!!!) days... what exam pens is everyone using? I've heard a lot of people like Jetstream and Papermate inkjoys but personally I haven't had any luck with them (rollerball Jetstream and the clicky Papermate ones). Currently I swear by the Pilot BPS-GP 1.6mm pens and they write incredibly smoothly (srsly give them a try next time u visit Officeworks). I also used to really like the Mitsubishi Uniball ink pens (1.0mm) because it didn't take much effort to write so my hand cramped less but I was worried about ink bleeding through the page so I made the switch to rollerball. Gel and ink pens just run out too quickly and I've never quite liked ballpoint.

I've also found that the lower mm you go, the grittier/rougher the pen feels which is also why I stopped using the Muji 0.5/0.7mm gel pens even though it made my work look super neat.

Thoughts?

My exam pen is the Pentel Energel BL107 in 0.7 or 1; it's got a good ink thickness, grips well in your hand and the rubber is soft on your fingers. Hopefully you like it!

i religiously use muji 0.38 gel pens, the grittiness is lowkey satisfying

I think I was just cursed or something but I always got the faulty ones, the lines were so faint and I had to press rlly hard for them to show, 1 star rating from my end unfortunately

dr grip is so i don't write too fast bc i don't want my handwriting to be ineligible and the gelocity is so my writing keeps up with my brain so i can instantly transpose stuff from my brain to paper

Okay but tell me you don't want this. Guaranteed to increase your wpm by atleast 10%.

True. The stat boost does give me a bit of an unfair advantage. But for at least this year it's not on the contraband list .

Although I'll probably have to explain to them that it isn't a vape pen...

haha I load up energel 0.7's/0.5's into my pens because they were comparatively cheap refills lol.

mate, you're built different. can't imagine writing an english essay on 0.38.
