This may seem like a stupid question.

but you know in hsc exams instructions it says :

'WRITE IN BLUE OR BLACK PEN'

well, i prefer to use pacers(pencil) in my exams, because i can't write legibly with pens.

will they still accept my paper and mark it without discrimination??

Apparently you aren't allowed to use pencil from what I heard.

Try and find a really thin pen that's as close to a pacer as you can get. Try and practice it over the next 3 years and you'll be right.

They will mark it irregardless. if you write in pencil, crayon, paint, whatever they will mark it. if you write upside down in a circle direction they will still mark it.

QFT........... basically they will mark anything writen. Although there may be some personal bias if it takes them longer to read / harder to read ....... so might affect to some degree
