Hey people!
What kind of pen are we suppose to use in C.I.E?
Ink pen or Ball pen?
Can we use any other kind of pen like gel pen or pointers etc?
Since grade six I am using Ink pen and it's very difficult for me to switch to ball pen or any other thing at this stage. =s And I have heard that only ball pens are allowed. =s

Weird because you're appearing for your O-level papers and still writing with a fountain pen!!
Yes, I've heard here on this forum that you can use any pen (but it must b Blue or Black)

Assalamoalaikum!!

Well i'm very sure that u can use any pen...the instructions given by the examiners states that..
Write in dark blue or black pen

And elsewhere i read that black pen is more preferable..although there's nothing wrong in using blue pen!


I personally prefer blue..and ofcourse gel pen...because work looks neat + organized..i mean questions are printed in black and our answers in blue :cool:
