it depends on paper quality.... it can be different many times... i took each kind of pens ...... just in case ;)

well i never used fountain pen... it has much chances of spoiling the paper and the backside as well. it depends on the type of subject you are giving

e.g. for islamiat and pkstd where you have to write more in less time ... i used pointer or ball point (again depedning on the paper given)

while for other you may use gel pen... but generally i used pointer for all of my CIE Olevels may 2011 papers.

See a fountain-pen can be messy; ballpoints are best for fast writing and seriously no one cares about the pens unless what you write is not visible! Putting the pros and cons of all these pens aside, go with the one that you can write *smoothly* and *swiftly* with! :wink:
