A good pen to use in exams? (2 Viewers)

[Deliriously]

yup! I use BIC's Atlantis pens too. They work like a charm! May I emphasise that it is very SMOOTH.

BIC Atlantis is amazing! Good grip, very smooth and you can write very fast!

IMO Kilometrico SUCKS. It hurts my muscles very quickly.
I think you'd like Papermate's InkJoy (what I'm using)

Never liked ballpoints.
Id often use felt tips or stick to a .8mm mech pencil.

Stop using pencil practice using pen even during math exams

i rarely use pen, even for major exams i write in pencil. but the pen that i find the most suitable is http://www.officeworks.com.au/retai...ies/Stationery/Pens/Executive-Pens/SA20071006 . expensive when buying the pen, though refills are around $6 so its alright.

I use papermate Kilometrico as well. It is a cheap pen as last very long

Dont know why people like buying the 3 to $6 each for a pen. Too expensive and eventually the ink will run out. Ink does not last forever

I've got a Stabilo Linear 808 F. It dries pretty much instantly, is super light and has a fine point which I personally like. Love ma pen!

Felt tips are great because they dry pretty quickly and aren't a problem if you're right handed, and you don't have to press hard, and are therefore able to write for longer and at greater speed without getting muscle ache.

I personally like a fountain pen (Lamy studio is my choice for school stuff) with a Fine nib because the extra fine is a bit scratchy, but the medium or bold nib chews through the ink pretty quickly. A fine nib and full ink easily lasts a full 3 hour exam with constant writing. I've never had a problem with ink going through the page, but in exams you only write on one side of the page anyway. If you get a soft nib, it can adapt to your writing style, making it even smoother and easier to write. I probably wouldn't recommend for left handed people though because it can smudge in the first second or two after writing.

I bought this pen the other day and it is like one of the best pens I think I've used! So smooth.

It is best to use inky/gel pens for exams. You really need to sacrifice some of your neatness for speed because every second will end up counting...

Starting from this year they are going to be scanned and read online so a really dark coloured pen preferably black is fine
