Used pencil and passed myself. But if I was to do it over again I'd use pen. Mainly because I've second guessed myself so much for using pencil (due to the negative influence it could have on graders).....

Sigh. Unless you wrote in disappearing ink, no grader will ever care what you wrote your exam with.
What you should do is go out and splurge and buy a pen that you really like and take the exam with that. Spending $20 or $30 on a pen doesn't usually work, but you can justify it for this exam.
I used pencil also as I did not have one during the exam - I didn't know that I needed a pen. I was caught in surprise. I passed. I may use a pen next time, because pencil marks tend to get blurred by scratching (when the graders flip the pages).
