Can we bring any color pens into the exam?
Writing your answers in red pen is totally nuts. Exams are graded in red pen and are graded by rewarding pts (e.g.,+3, +2, not -1, -2). If you want to camoflouge the pts you have earned, then write in red pen. Graders do several hundred essays per day and score them accordingly fast.
I have a pen with so many pretty colors - purple, green, aqua blue, and orange. I will totally use that on the exam.

pencil for essay type not allowed?
CFAI does have global graders andmakes a special point of it. Graders are selected without regard to where they live even though CFAI pays travel expenses. There are graders there from all over the world. It’s pretty cool actually.
