Who used pencil for AM this year people

Viceroy

I am just curious. How many people ended up using pencil this year?

This is becoming a popular topic. I used a pen because I don't write very hard and pencil is much more impermanent. It was a holy mess at times but I always circle my final answer amid the wreckage a pen will do on a reworked quantitative problem or essay!

Pen - I'm a lefty so pen was necessary.

Used an erasable pen, and it was freaking fantastic.

Pen until it ran out, then pencil. CFAI confirmed that this was fine.

Had to use pencils since had to learn on exam day that pens are required/recommended for the AM session.

From your comments, I assume that pencils are ok, right? Did not find any information on the FAQs on the CFAI website.

Asked immediately for advice or at least a pen when reading the instructions on the front cover of the exam. Proctors could not / did not want to help. "we are not allowed to provide candidates with ANY material". No comment; I mean - it′s a simple pen I had asked for...

I went hybrid

Pencil for answers that I didnt know well and thought I might need to erase....

Pen for answers that I knew cold

Although made sure that I wrote firm with pencil so it wouldnt be too light for them to read
