Right so we’re supposed to use pencils to mark the answers, but why are we not allowed to bring pens into the exam room. Or at least since they’re not in the ‘allowed’ list I assume that we’re not supposed to bring pens. Are these classified as dangerous materials now?
If you explode a pen and you are next to me and interrupt my concentration, I would beat you down. LOL, no idea.
because you won’t need it and to simplify things - avoid people who may fill in the bubble ovals with black pens, it won’t go through the electornic marking system since it only detects charcoal
