Its Friday and sunny here in Tacoma, WA. My pen just died (like the 20th one since I started this process) and something came to me. Do you guys use pens or pencils when studying? Silly question but hey Im in a silly mood. Pen? Pencil? Blue/red/black? Just wondering! Have a good weekend!

Kassius I use pens for note-taking but pencils for working out math problems in the MCQ's. I don't like that sound/feel of pencil on paper either, although since I started studying accounting I've learned to deal with it.

Black pen with a red one to underline when I am taking notes. Inkjoy pens are cheap and seem to last a long time. Sad that I know this…

Pencil when working MCQs that may be computations.

Black and Red Pen. If ever a pencil, a .9 led pencil with eraser(I will not use a pencils eraser) For notes though, I started typing them in microsoft word. It takes longer to get formatting, but I am really liking it. (I can't read my own handwriting). Thank god for new test format. If I had to write out a written communication, I would surely never pass the old test format or BEC. My handwriting can make someone go blind.

Pens – could never stand the graphite dust and eraser debris on my desk. I'm a bit of a neat-freak. The sound never bothered me though hah

Mechanical pencil – used to hate them up until about 5 years ago, now it's what I prefer.

Mechanical pencil, I like it cause I can erase and make my note look neat.

PEN. I'm left handed so whenever I use pencil its a smear fest 🙁

I use pencil. Pens are useless when writing horizontally, and they run out of ink frequently.

Got to go with mechanical pencil
