Hello all!
Straight to the point:

1) Is it all right to use a PENCIL to mark the scales and the axes headings on a graph ?

I've been using a pencil all this time, until i read in the syllabus (chem) : "The presentation medium should be pencil for lines on tables and graphs"
Using a pen for the scales just doesn't make sense!? If you get them wrong, it would be such a mess!

2) Is it all right to use a PENCIL for table headings and for recording readings ?

I know you have to draw the table in pencil, but what about writing the headings and readings?

Thank you, and Good luck for the studying! :)

pencils are only allowed for drawing the table and for drawing the line and axis of graph.... labeling the axes and the table headings is to be done by pen!

As i know you are allowed to use pencils for graph works (including labeling the axis and drawing a line of best fit) and for the table as msk said you can draw a table with a pencil but fill in with a pen.
