Can we use a ballpoint pen

CFA Level III

Hello everyone

I know it is recommended to use ink pen or pencils. However, I am not good with either. Can I use a ball point pen as I am neat with it and better with my writing (plus speed).

Please advise

Regards

**Small Note: I am only talking about AM. For PM obviously pencil is to be used only.

I intend to use ball point pens. I went to the store yesterday pen hunting because I mostly use blue ink around my house and that’s what I grabbed. I didn’t put any effort into researching ideal pens. If it doesn’t smear or bleed through the paper, it will work. It’s not like the afternoon that won’t get graded properly if you use a non-number 2 pencil.

Yeah, I’m going with the Pilot G-2 pen. Been using it for all my mocks so far.
