I'm sorry that I have to bring this topic up.

But today, as I sat in my Business class with an old man who claimed to be a presiding officer and talked in a monotonous voice, he said...

"BOSTES has decided that ONLY black pens will be used in the HSC exam..."

HOW DARE THEY DO THAT TO MY BLUE PENS. HOW DARE THEY SEGREGATE MY BABUS Q_______Q.

Thought this was a serious post at first...but thing is, HSC is going to be scanned and marked on a computer now, BOSTES's shitty 1970s scanners can't pick up blue ink as good as black :/

Hold up is this for the 2015 or 2016 HSC? I've been using blue eons during my exams. Does that mean I'm finished?

how are the scanners going to detect pencil if they can't even detect blue pen?

:,) We are 100% not allowed blue pen for our exam next week ~ Not sure if people can read my joking tone tbh.

Hmm...I'm sure...they just look at it separately? Maybe? //shrugs
